Jesus is the Answer -- so what was the Question?

Grease your mental wheels, my friends! I want to generate another brainstorming discussion here, after reading some great stuff over at Len Hjalmarsson's site (his blog from October 16 -- the "other" one, not the one where he quoted yesterday's blog from this site).

A few years ago, when we were still pastoring in Los Angeles (which is Spanish for "Lots of Ants"), and I was putting together a philosophy of ministry for a pomo alternative service (in a church where Keith Green became a Christian and was later the worship leader, that originally met in Larry Norman's living room, and where Bob Dylan became a Christian -- what a cool heritage, eh?), one of the concepts that I felt that the Lord "downloaded" into my thinking was:

"The leader of great value in postmodern ministry isn't the one with the 'right answers', but the one who can ask themselves (and others) the right questions, and then join in a shared journey of discovering and experiencing more of Jesus".

So here's the question I want some input on -- it's actually a two-part question. I'm starting from the premise that (and please feel free to comment on this premise, as well):

"The goal of leadership in discipleship is to co-operate with the Holy Spirit in bringing people to the point where they no longer 'need' the leader but have learned to follow the Spirit of Jesus for themselves."

1. If our intent is to become mature disciples of Jesus Christ, what would a mature postmodern disciple look like? (As they say, "aim at nothing and that's what you'll hit" -- so what are we aiming for?)


2. As people with (or developing) gifts of leadership, how do we lead in such a way that will disciple postmodern people into that maturity?

I look forward to your input!
