The Law of Unanticipated Results states that taking an action often yields results in an entirely different area.
Trying to be happy results in less happiness. Pursuing an activity that consumes your focus and creativity results in happiness.
The purpose of a beehive is not to make honey. Honey is a sweet unanticipated benefit of a healthy hive.
Intentionally pursuing a church growth strategy may build numbers (usually not). But it won’t make “honey.” A community excited about growing and serving attracts others who wish to grow and serve in an exciting community.
