Passing on my Heritage

Passing on my Heritage

by Dr. J. Robert Clinton

"As a teacher, one of my hoped for outcomes of my teaching career is that some folks who have studied with me will be able to carry on what I have begun - and thus continue the leading concentration that I have developed over my thirty years of teaching at Fuller Theological Seminary."

Passing on my HeritageMore Details
"That is, I hope I will have a legacy. I would desire that some, who will have studied with me, will build on what I have started and take it further in their own unique way. With that in mind, passing on a legacy, I have written this position paper. My thesis is that any leader transitioning out of ministry can best insure a legacy by doing two things: Modeling and Sharing of Values. This position paper, in itself, is modeling. In addition, I am explicitly identifying values that will hopefully insure a legacy - if they are picked up on. (69 p.)

Isolation Processing - Learning Deep Lessons from God

Isolation Processing - Learning Deep Lessons from God

by Dr. J. Robert Clinton

Isolation processing is an important shaping activity. 90% of the leaders Dr. Clinton has studied experience the shaping activity of isolation. Dr. Clinton begins this paper by defining and describing isolation. What is isolation?

Isolation Processing - Learning Deep Lessons from GodMore Details
Isolation processing refers to the setting aside of a leader from normal ministry or leadership involvement due to involuntary causes, partially self-caused or voluntary causes for a period of time sufficient enough to cause and/or allow serious evaluation of life and ministry. Isolation can be categorized into three major types: Type I. Negative Sovereign Intervention; Type II. Negative Opposition; Type III. Positive Self-Choice.

Dr. Clinton next suggests some results of isolation processing and gives some common happenings - of all three types. And then comes the heart of the paper. Dr. Clinton describes four Biblical leaders (Job, Moses, Elijah and Paul) who went through isolation. He points out their responses to it and the lessons learned. A proper response to this shaping activity will see a leader examine what God is longing to teach him/her and proactively respond to God's shaping. (11 p.)
