Have you ever drawn a blank, unable to come up with the idea you need? I certainly have! All the words you read in the books I've written and ideas I share on womensministry.net certainly don't come easily. Sometimes, my mind seems to be blank, distracted, or just plain mush.
Then, there are the times the ideas are free-flowing. I shape and mold something in my mind until it's a beautiful thing... or, so I think. Yet, as soon as I share it, I hear silence, or even worse, immediate attack or dismissal. It's not that I think every idea I have is the best ever, but if I've spent time and effort to come up with it, I am certainly going to be a bit defensive about it.
All of our ministries need fresh ideas. But, how can we create a rich environment in which our teams can brainstorm without the pressure and fear of rejection? You'll be encouraged by 3 Ways to Brainstorm Never-Before-Considered Ideas. Make sure you check out Get Your Hands Messy, too. It's an excellent (and yummy) team-building experience you can use for an upcoming meeting or retreat.
