Team Application for July 17-20, 2025

Shake things up!

****Application due March 31st by midnight****

We always love to have a team theme. Something we can focus on and use for our growth during the team process.

The theme for this upcoming team will be Shake things up!

We all experience “the drift” in life. Things get busy. Life moves on. And we wake up one day to find that we’ve drifted away from our purpose, what’s important, and who God has made us to be. Derek also used the phrase “tranquilized obviousness” in the last (January 2025) Encounter Training. He used the example of taking a typical, routine drive, arriving at your destination and not really recalling any of the details of that drive.

When we find ourselves in this state, we have the opportunity to SHAKE THINGS UP! To wake up from the routine and shake off the lethargy. For many participants, this is the experience of the Encounter Training - breaking from the norm and shaking up their life. And this is not only be true for the participants, but can also apply to our team. We can re-awaken to intentionality, purpose and promise! This is the invitation to everyone who desires to join this July 2025 Encounter Team. LET’S GO!

Do you agree to the following team commitments?

Be on time to all team gatherings.

Share at least two social media posts per month leading up to The Encounter if you’re on social media.

Personally invite at least 5 people to The Encounter.

Attend every meeting (including grad dinner) you've agreed to or renegotiate in advance

What area of your life do you feel you need to "shake things up" and how do you plan to use this Encounter Team season to assist you in that renewal?

Think of someone in your life who you feel needs to "shake things up." Tell us about this person and how you might open up the possibility of them attending this Encounter Training.

We've traditionally requested that a team member miss no more than 4 hours of the training. However, we're willing to discuss greater flexibility if needed.. Do you need to miss any hours of the training? Please clarify.

While we would love for you to attend every meeting, we understand other commitments may get in the way. We ask at a minimum that you COMMIT to at least one of the two live team meetings and one of the two zoom meetings. Please clarify now any meeting dates on the schedule that you will need to miss. If you live outside of the greater Nashville area, you can attend the live meetings by zoom.

It's important as a team that we live in integrity and are intentional about keeping our promises. Including being on time and showing up to the meetings we've agree to come to. How do you keep track of the dates and other commitments you're making to this team? Do you have a day planner? Put them in an Outlook calendar? Please describe practically how you support your promise keeping.
