How we say what we say matters in ministry every day. When the media is on your church doorstep, that is not the time to decide who will speak on behalf of your organization and what to say.  What the receptionist says to an incoming caller can either throw gas on a fire or de-escalate an explosive situation. You get to choose. Is there a time NOT to pray with someone? Is “no comment” the answer to give a media request? When can your words be used against your organization in litigation?  When is texting or other communication confidential? Should an anonymous letter be dropped in the shredder? Come tidy up your communication skills and help your team do the same.

Relational Wisdom

Main Auditorium
Not if, but when conflicts arise in ministry, the kindest act from a leader is to have already prepared themselves in advance to provide guidance and direction on how to lead in the conflict.  Onlookers will be repelled away or drawn toward your ministry, even if subconsciously, based on the tendency to be conflict avoidant or a demonstrated leadership to navigate conflict in a healthy way. As General Secretary for the national office of the Assemblies of God, most  every call to Donna Barrett’s office is around a conflict, whether within one of our 66 districts, between a board and pastor, between a minister and someone bringing a complaint, or litigation from the courts.  You’ll learn practical helps to use as a leader and gain guidance on developing a culture that is healthy with conflict.
