Love the article! To clarify... you're not suggesting we should never prepare an agenda for a meeting are you? Perhaps have an agenda (created with God's guidance) but hold it loosely and be willing pivot as the Spirit leads?
Great question, Paul! Short answer: No, of course not. You’re thoughts are right on target. The big idea here is that our default approach is to create our plans and agendas on our own, believing that God approves of them. But even if they are solid, we’re intentionally putting ourselves in a position to ignore God’s input. So if he’s trying to do something different, we leave no room for it. We miss out on the opportunity to join God in what he’s doing.
