And he that Reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
—John 4:26
5 Steps of Progression
Becoming a Christlike leader takes time, effort, and patience. Ensign Roots teaches this progression through 5 steps:
KNOW your roots.
NOURISH the seed.
TRUST the Gardner.
BLOOM where you’re planted.
GIVE of your fruits freely.
Each day Ensign Roots participants review the steps to gain perspective and guide our thinking, behavior, and service to others.
These 5 Steps help establish the framework, or foundation, to move forward into leadership. We study examples from the life of Jesus Christ and examples of mere mortals. Private introspection comes next followed by a genuine discussion with other Ensign Roots participants. The final act is implementation—an exhibition of the new leadership principles in service towards others.
To accomplish this, Ensign Roots has prepared very unique services opportunities for its participants. These services opportunities truly impact the giver as well as the receiver. This is true leadership. Christlike leadership.
