Description
Every church leader navigates relationships at three increasingly complex levels: leading yourself, leading your team, and leading your church community. This three-part webinar series, equips you with practical, biblical tools to lead each of these relationships with wisdom, confidence, and grace.
While the examples and application are grounded in the church environment, the principles discussed are broadly applicable to many workplace settings as well.
What's covered?
Together, we'll explore how to navigate three of the important leadership conversations:
Week 1: Handling difficult conversations with confidence
How do you have conversations that are truthful, loving and constructive - even when maybe you would prefer to avoid them?
Week 2: Leading healthy disagreement
How do you lead teams where people think differently while strengthening trust and unity?
Week 3: Leading a church through conflict
How can leaders guide whole church communities through seasons of tension in ways that build relational health?
Each session combines practical teaching, realistic case studies, personal reflection, and immediately applicable tools to help you build healthier relationships in ministry. Whether you're seeking to strengthen your own leadership, cultivate a healthier team culture, or build a more relationally healthy church, this series will equip you to lead proactively, helping build stronger relationships before problems escalate.

This webinar series will run over 3 consecutive Wednesday's, delivered live online via Zoom. All sessions will be 90-minutes in length and will be recorded and made available to registered participants.
