Receiving Complaints as Gifts!?
As a church pastor, I can tell you that there are few things more discouraging than complaints. We tend to feel under attack and immediately break into defence mode. Maybe we could do with a fresh perspective.
The High-Level Skill of Ministry Networking and Collaboration
Where we lack skills and consistency, our ability to collaborate diminishes. We won’t remember to think in terms of wider ministry partnerships if we do not deeply value partnership.

How Do I Lead A Team Well?
Dave Moore’s The Team Leader’s Handbook is pitched at people who aren’t confident or experienced team leaders, particularly those who are just starting out in a new role. Moore gives words of comfort to those who feel intimidated, but he also gently pushes those who may be reticent to undertake leadership or those who need help to persevere with their role. He persuades his readers to see how necessary the team leader role is, and how joyful and satisfying it has the potential to be.
