Hey, Friend!

Every organization, even every church has a culture and a climate. The culture is what matters to us, how we do things here. The climate is the essence - what it feels like to work here and to be here.

In today’s episode, I share how you can use finesse to protect and enrich the climate of your organization. It involves three options:

1. Preventative Measures (building trust)

2. Maintenance Measures (addressing conflict)

3. Repair Measures (honest, non-threatening conversations)

I pray this blesses you,

Hey, Friend!

Whether you are in your first ministry role right out of college, or you have entered ministry as a second career, there are at least 6 things you need to consider that will be beneficial to you as you learn the world of ministry, which is like nothing else.

1. Manage your expectations

2. Leverage your experience/expertise

3. Be curious

4. Ask for what you need

5. Seek relationships/support

6. Embrace your role as a new minister on your way to becoming a Specialist, or as a seasoned professional who has entered ministry as a Generalist

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend,

Did you know that the majority of ministers (55%) in the United States came to ministry as a second career?

They are known as Generalists, having degrees, expertise and experience in another discipline before transitioning to ministry. They bring a broad range of knowledge across multiple disciplines that make them valuable assets to a ministry staff.

Ministers with education, expertise and experience in ministry are known as Specialists and their deep knowledge is also extremely valuable to a ministry staff.

Both are needed on the team. Check out today’s episode.

I pray this blesses you,

Becky
