Dumb Mistake #3 "Not Learning From Those with Whom You Disagree"

One of my glaring weaknesses is that I tend to think I am right---all the time. In doing college ministry, it is easy to fall into this trap. Obviously, each of us do things the way we think is best. But, do we really have al the good ideas? All the best methods? The obvious answer is NO!

Do you disagree with the theology or methodology of a growing ministry on your campus or in your area? What should you learn from them? What do they do best? How do they do it? Don't steal and copy something unique about them, but what is there you can learn from them?

Thinking inside the same boxes results in the same thoughts. Alright, what college ministry drives you crazy--now, what should you learn from them???? Should you attend one of their meetings (on another campus perhaps)? Should you visit with one of their staff members?
