Key Points From This Episode:

  • M.A.W.L. stands for Model, Assist, Watch and Leave a disciple-making process.
  • Some people prefer to use the word launch rather than leave.
  • Leave doesn’t mean leaving the relationship, but sometimes physically leaving can be advantageous for the person to grow and take responsibility.
  • Apostolically gifted leaders tend to be better at modelling and leaving that assisting and watching, but these steps are also vital.
  • It requires humility to allow others to lead and we sit and watch, then simply encourage.
  • Catch people doing things right and affirm them. This builds confidence and also encourages them to do that more.
  • Staying too long can cause significant problems like dependency, and hinders the new leaders from rising up.
  • In the case of a DBS, some movement leaders feel that four times is enough before you leave. It is case by case, but this is a good rule of thumb.
