Web Wisdom

A team is a group of people working together to reach a goal or complete a task.

We were made to be part of a team with a purpose and mission.

If our family doesn’t act like a team, kids might go look for another group to belong to.

A real team works together to help each other and reach a common goal. A club, on the other hand, usually focuses on individual needs and doesn’t always encourage everyone to be responsible for the group’s success.

Being part of a strong team means everyone works together, helps each other, and shares the same goal. This way, everyone learns and grows as a team.

PeaceBuilders Opinion 1

PeaceBuilders is based on the idea that we are all part of a big community called humanity.

We can choose how much we want to be involved, but it’s hard to be completely separate from it. How we connect with this "team" depends on our own life experiences and culture.

Sometimes, team members may have different thoughts or opinions, and this can lead to tension or strong feelings. How we react to these moments depends on our emotions. But the main purpose of a team is to work together and move forward.

The goal of PeaceBuilders is to help you find a local team where you can connect with others and feel supported, so you can have better emotional health and happiness.

Author's Opinion

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.
