Team Activity
Physical & emotional health
A team is defined as a group of people who perform interdependent tasks to work toward a common mission or specific objective or goal.
We were built to be on a team with purpose and a mission.
If our family is not a team then our kids will just find another team to join.
The team should be a team and not a club or a group. A club often just suports the induvidual needs and does not always promote interdependance and accountability to others for a shared outcome.
Book to read: Hold on to your kids. Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate. Small acts of team creation and reinforcement.
Team questions:
What is our mission?
What is important to us?
Why are we here?
Why do we exist?
What differentiates us from others?
Canadian Men's Health Foundation
PeaceBuilders is built on the idea that we are all part of a community team, called humanity. We can choose the level we want to participate and be involved in it but it is difficult to escape100% of the time. How we interact with this "team" willingly or unwillingly often relates to our own life story, experience or culture.
Team members might have differences of thought and opinion as we rub shoulders in our day to day interactions. This connection or friction often triggers our feelings and emotion and influenses how we respond or feel. It is however the primary mission and purpose of a team that helps drive the team forward.
The hope is that PeaceBuilders can help direct you to find a local team where you can have a connection and the team support to have a deeper sense of personal emotional health and hapiness.
PeaceBuilders Society and all its Service Provider members are there to help make this possible. You can read more about this society at www.BigJakeConnect.org/society
Book extracts: Take back your family - Jefferson Bethke
Industrialization - production and meaning
Families - trustee, domestic, atomanistic (nuclear)
Clubs - inward focus, individuals, shared belonging, activity
Teams - outward focused, collective mission, shared identity
A life of fewer regrets
Intentional living - purpose, things that matter
Clubs vs teams
Clubs are shallower, softer, internally focused (instead of outwardly mission focused) groups that often only parody powerful and strong teams; And because of that they rarely get to the level of depth, memory and longevity that teams can.
A lot of families in west are simply a form of club.
A place to hang out and belong.
You are in the club for you. For your fulfillment and personal gain.
You are not there to be connected or called up into a deeper story. In a club people are dispensable.
Clubs, like factories, are held together by shared belonging and shared activity.
Teams are different. Like farms, they are longer vision but collective missions. Teams need each other.
Clubs are about the individual where teams are about the group.
Clubs are about shared belonging and shared activity, but teams are about shared identity or a mission. Mission is the glue.
Getting family to work together to a shared goal.
Families are born to be teams and have natural giftings and wiring to do so. It's our western culture and conditioning that got us sidetracked.
**We need each other. (interdependence) **
Individuals depend on themselves, teams depend on each other.
