1:23 PMJason Petermann – Session 3 about to start!
1:27 PMJason Petermann – Mark says there focus at Granger is to reach the self-made, married man with a couple kids that has a boat, maybe a lake house. Does not think he really needs anyone, especially God. “If we can reach him, we can reach anyone.”
1:28 PMJason Petermann –We do the things we do on the weekends that we do for him…
1:30 PMJason Petermann – just kind of chit-chatting for the moment… I love how real the people here at Granger are… they are consumed with Jesus, and with reaching others for HIM!
1:30 PMJason Petermann – …that is so contagious!
1:34 PMJason Petermann –Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are
1:34 PMJason Petermann – In other words, there are people who think they are good at something that they are really not good at, but are not using what they are good at…

1:53 PMJason Petermann – those are tough conversations, but the Kingdom deserves the very best from us, and from those that are volunteering…
1:54 PMJason Petermann – You are doing no one any good by allowing someone to not be giving their all in teir involvement to something they have committed to…
1:55 PMJason Petermann – talking about branding now… we associate places with faces…
1:55 PMJason Petermann – tose faces are people that serve us, and either give us good or bad experiences
1:59 PMJason Petermann – people create the brand
1:59 PMJason Petermann – when you think of Starbucks, you think of the people that serve you… when they get to know you and and know what you like…that creates a brand for the company
2:04 PMJason Petermann – We should be very aware of those that we are allowing to serve on the First Impressions team, they are creating our brand…
2:05 PMJason Petermann – Phil. 2:5 – You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

2:06 PMJason Petermann – Building your team….
2:12 PMJason Petermann – We need to begin with the end in mind…
2:12 PMJason Petermann – What do we want our guest to experience?
2:12 PMJason Petermann – What volunteer roles do I need to have in place in order to make this happen?
2:13 PMJason Petermann – Do the volunteers clearly understand what is expected of them?
2:14 PMJason Petermann – decide what you need to have, and then create what it should look like…
2:15 PMJason Petermann – There is a difference between recruiting and inviting
2:15 PMJason Petermann – recruiting makes someone a target… a means to and end… impersonal
2:16 PMJason Petermann – invitation puts the focus on the person and an opportunity
2:17 PMJason Petermann – a 90 second invite is all that is needed…
2:17 PMJason Petermann – 3 parts…
2:17 PMJason Petermann – 1. affirm why you are asking them in the first place
2:18 PMJason Petermann – what do you see in them that is making you ask them to be a part of something…
2:18 PMJason Petermann – affirm their abilities
2:18 PMJason Petermann – 2. Explain what the opportunity is
2:19 PMJason Petermann – letting them know there is an opportunity to use their gifts
2:19 PMJason Petermann – 3. Explain your passion for the ministry
2:20 PMJason Petermann – do not talk about schedule or duties yet…
2:20 PMJason Petermann – the best way to get volunteers is by the volunteers that you have to shoulder-tap
2:22 PMJason Petermann – a leader only has so many people to draw from…
2:22 PMJason Petermann – we need to let the new people that we have to invite people to serve with them… they have more contacts than the leader does…
2:27 PMJason Petermann – Vision…
2:27 PMJason Petermann – a few comments…
2:27 PMJason Petermann – everybody on the team has to own the vision
2:28 PMJason Petermann – it has to be something that drives them, that is their heartbeat
2:28 PMJason Petermann – the vision is lived out on the volunteer level
2:28 PMJason Petermann – vision has to be repeated
2:29 PMJason Petermann – Vision leaks… so you have to constantly be re-casting the vision
