My main takeaway from the T4T story is how we often try to put God in a box. Throughout the story, I was met with many different stories of people who trusted in God to do very big things, and he did those things. Going forward, I would like to try to be someone who’s a bit more trusting and open to what God is doing rather than trying to just follow the rules or follow one specific way.
I think the 1/3-1/3-1/3 method is a good way of creating accountability. A lot of times, in Bible studies, it can be quick just to study the Bible and not actually apply it, but this method has space for accountability and for going forward and doing what we set out to do. I also appreciate the emphasis on reaching unreached people groups and asking the question of what can you do this week, not just as an overall idea but instead focused very specifically.

The T4T process reminds me that Church is not such a massive and daunting word. Its structure is simply laid out by this method, and built on relatively simple principles. We should Look Back so that we can learn from history, either our own or other peoples. We should Look Up because that’s all about making sure we are doing everything with our eyes set on God (arguably this is the most important part). Looking Forward keeps us active and moving, making sure that we are seeking to improve ourselves and multiply ourselves- so that nothing is stagnant and nothing dies out.
I think these are the fundamentals of the Church in the same way these are fundaments of Christian life. T4T has laid them out so well and I appreciate the structure it brings because it reminds the reader that things are more attainable than we might think. -
The T4T structure being so dependable and reproducible stands out to me. A lot of people in the west may think starting a church is very out of their league or unattainable, but the simple structure of T4T is encouraging! I can see myself implementing the look back, look up, look forward process. Looking back is a great accountability practice. Looking up is obviously crucial to all of this, and looking forward further builds that accountability and provides opportunity to obey the Scripture and share the gospel. all together, it builds strong community!
