Notes
It's easy to go out and purchase new…. However there is a special bond when you are willing to put in the time, effort, and work in restoration. This applies just as much in a car as it does in our own lives and relationships. Truth is we live in a broken fallen world and because of that we all have areas that need restored. It’s not something we look at regularly, which makes it now as important as ever. Even though the Reset series is coming to an end, it doesn't mean the work of restoration has to. Leadership tip How deep are the relationships in your group? As a leader make it a point to get together with everyone in your group separately to foster the relationships even closer. It's easy to just spend our group time together but as a leader, you need to go the extra step in connecting separately outside of group to better get to know each other personally.
