Dr. Kay Daigle Dr. Sue Edwards In this second video in the series Leaders, Survive and Thrive in Conflict, Dr. Sue Edwards discusses women's tendencies in conflict with Dr. Kay Daigle. Knowing our womanly inclinations when confronted with conflict enables us to practice good peacemaking that will serve us well in such situations. As leaders, there will be times when conflict arises within our church or organization, and we need to deal with it well. Learning about women's tendencies in conflict will also help any of us to overcome our usual reactions and follow Jesus as peacemakers. After all, Jesus values them as he said in the Beatitudes, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God" (Matt. 5:9, NET).

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. And I'm welcoming you to this second video in our series on conflict with Dr. Sue Edwards. Our series is really focused toward leaders, and Sue is giving us some tips on how to survive and thrive through conflict as leaders. In the first video, we just talked about being ready, being prepared, that conflict is going to happen. And Sue shared some of her own personal experiences with conflict as I have. And in this one we're going to talk about women's tendencies in conflict because women have some tendencies that are a little bit different from the way men might handle conflict. As I told you in the first video, you can read Sue's full bio on our website as she is an Associate Professor at Dallas Seminary. And we are so thankful that she gave us the time to talk about this. So Sue in your experience, in your research, what can you tell us about women in conflict? Sue >> Well, I think, first of all, I would give a warning that we don't want to put everybody in the same box, that stereotypes are dangerous and misleading. But there are some tendencies that are real, and I've experienced them. You probably have as well. And as women and women leaders particularly we just need to be aware. Kay >> Some of them will apply to the leaders themselves. Sue >> Yes. Yes. Kay >> And if you're a leader, you need to know what your tendencies are. Sue >> Exactly. And you need to know that as a leader, often you're working with men. So if you don't understand how you may come at this differently, then you will possibly have some real problems. So this is helpful just to be aware. Kay >> I think of the story you told in the last video that the executive pastor gave you 15 minutes to mediate an entire conflict. That's a man's tendency isn't it? Sue >> Yes, and he ended up having to—then we had three or four more sessions as a result because there was no possible way because we were in this personally. That's something that we see Janet Lever has done research on children's playgrounds and she has spent large blocks of time watching children play together. And what she has observed is that the little boys will come together, and when there is a conflict, they will get into it physically and verbally. Then they'll be rolling in the dirt, and they'll be really going after each other. But she's watching and the next day, they're fine. They don't hold on to this at all. It's just a way to work things out.
Dr. Sue Edwards Dr. Kay Daigle If you're a leader, get ready for conflict according to Dr. Sue Edwards of Dallas Seminary. It's inevitable, so we need to prepare for it as best we can. Dr. Edwards and Dr. Kay Daigle tell the story of a conflict they were both involved in years ago. Dr. Edwards strongly suggests that we learn about peacemaking now and practice it in every part of our lives. Get ready for conflict! Don't miss the second podcast in the series: Women's Tendencies in Conflict, and the third, Empowering Practices in Conflict. Right now all are available on video, but the second and third will drop on our podcast soon. This episode is available on video as well.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries, and I'd like to welcome you to a series on conflict. Our guest today is Dr. Sue Edwards from Dallas Seminary. Sue is the Associate Professor of Educational Ministries and Leadership there. Her complete bio is on our website if you want to read that. This series is really a follow up to a series that we previously posted with Oletha Barnett called “Fight Right,” which will give you the basics of conflict. Sue and I today are going to talk more specifically about leadership. The title of this series is “Empowering Leaders to Survive and Thrive through Conflict.” So this will be specifically for you, but you will need the basics that Oletha gives about handling it and just some other tips that she has. It's a wonderful series. You'll find it also on our website at BeyondOrdinaryWomen.org. This is the first in three. Right now, we're just going to talk about “Get Ready.” Just to give you a little background, Sue and I met years ago and really at the time, Sue was weathering a conflict that she may talk about some in this series. I got drawn into the conflict really when I wouldn't take a stand against Sue by the people that were attacking her. And so I became a second target of these people. It bonded me and Sue because we were dealing with the same people and had experienced some of the same things. It was a very difficult time, I know for her, and it certainly was for me. So I know that Sue not only has studied conflict and studied scripturally what to do with conflict, but she has experienced conflict. She has weathered it; she has experienced it; and she has learned about it. So, Sue, I'm excited to hear what you are going to tell us about conflict and we're talking about get ready. So get us ready. Sue >> I'll start out by just saying be ready because conflict is coming and the more influential you are as a leader, the more conflict you'll experience. And our experience was, oh my goodness, it was a horrendous year for me. I was leading a women's ministry and we were in the same church there. And a rival Bible teacher (Now, those words should never even be in the same sentence, but that was the reality of what was going on.), she attempted to have me thrown out of the church as a false teacher, and it was over a doctrinal issue that at our seminary our professors agreed to disagree about. It's a gray area and godly people take different stands on it. But this woman she was not willing to do that. In fact, I remember sitting in the Executive Pastor's office, and she was glaring at me over the table and she said, “You are holding women's hands to hell.” It was that kind of rhetoric that was going on and the Executive Pastor basically said, and of course,

Christians go off the rails when we forget. Paul was going home, but he wanted Timothy to stay on track. So he gave Tim, and us, four things to remember. Scripture will be one of those, of course; but there are also human examples who've walked this path before us. And there are a couple more that we'll think about in the next few minutes. Let's join Pastor Jim as he's musing on 2 Timothy 3:12, and the persecution we should expect, as followers of Jesus.

Would you leave the Shepherd, to follow the Wolf? Jesus has brought all kinds of sheep into His flock, rescuing them from all sorts of lies and addictions and sins. But the Wolf promises them freedom from the sheep pen - plus hidden knowledge, and prestige in the world. And some of them jump. That's not an explanation of apostasy, but it is a little parable to illustrate Paul's concern. We're studying his 2nd letter to Timothy.

Serving in ministry can be very hard some times. And the very people to whom we are trying to minister, are often the people who hurt us the most!

In this powerful discussion, we explore the profound concept of humility in leadership and ministry. The conversation draws parallels to the biblical story of King Saul and David, reminding us that true success isn't about personal glory, but about stewarding God's vision. We're challenged to consider: Are we building our ministries around a person, or around God's mission? The speakers emphasize that humility isn't about false modesty, but about prioritizing the vision God has given us over our own desires for recognition. This message encourages us to reflect on our own motivations in serving and leading. Are we seeking to amplify our own voice, or are we committed to amplifying God's message? As we navigate our faith journey, let's remember that God often requires humility from us - we can choose it willingly, or He may bring circumstances that humble us. This conversation invites us to embrace true humility, recognizing that our role is to be stewards of God's vision, not kings of our own kingdoms. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Abe Camacho https://www.instagram.com/abecamacho/ Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

Is it okay to set boundaries in ministry work? How do we balance being “all things to all people” (1 Cor 9:22) with the need for personal limits? Today's guest believes that not only is it okay to establish boundaries—it's essential. Join me as I sit down with John Gencarelli, Director of Youth and Adult Evangelization at St. Phillip Neri-Blessed Sacrament & Holy Name Parishes in Omaha. John opens up about his experience with burnout and shares how setting boundaries transformed his approach to ministry. By tracking his work hours, taking regular days off, and weaving prayer into his daily routine, John discovered how to protect his well-being while still serving effectively. He also highlights the importance of balancing family time with ministry and how thoughtful planning plays a key role in this. Ultimately, John reminds us that it's God who saves, not us, and setting boundaries allows us to trust in His plan, ensuring that we serve effectively without burning out. Tune in and learn to: * Prioritize Self-Care and Boundaries * Foster Humility, Openness, Forgiveness and Healing * Build and Maintain Community * Take Rest Seriously Mentioned in this episode: Revive Parishes (https://reviveparishes.com/).

The goal of the Gospel is making disciplines, v. 21Three things they did as they ministered to the disciples… a) strengthening the souls of the disciplesb) encouraging them to continue in the faith “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” -Jude 3-4c) saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God3. Leadership in the church is plural, v. 23Paul established three things in every church he started...a) gave doctrinal instructionb) established spiritual authority- eldersc) pointed them to the faithfulness of God4.

Series: The Church on FireSunday Sermon 2/18/24
Summary:Brian Dollar joins the Lead Volunteers podcast to discuss the importance of building teams in ministry. He emphasizes that everything is better in teams and that ministry should never be done alone. Brian shares how his church has made building teams a core value and the process they use to recruit and train volunteers. He also highlights the biblical basis for teamwork and the long-term benefits of investing in others. Key Takeaways: Building teams is a biblical principle and essential for the long-term success of a ministry. Core values should reflect what a church truly values and not just be empty words on a wall. The process of recruiting and training volunteers should involve clear communication, personal contact, and shadowing experienced team members. Serving alongside others in ministry deepens relationships and creates a sense of fulfillment and camaraderie. The long game is the only game to play in ministry, as it allows for the development of strong teams and lasting impact. Quotes: "You can't call it a core value unless you value it." - Brian Dollar "If you want something to last, do it together." - Brian Dollar "Building teams is not just about making ministry easier, but about making it more fruitful, biblical, and fulfilling." - Brian Dollar We hope you enjoy episode 207 of the Lead Volunteers Podcast and share it with a ministry leader you know who may find this beneficial for their ministry context!

Communication is an essential part of leadership. In the parishes we coach, one of the most common concerns that leaders raise is the issue of poor communication. If we don't get communication right, it's incredibly difficult to be effective in any other aspect of the work we're doing. On this week's podcast, Ron is unpacking six reasons that people are often unable to get communication right. Maybe you're struggling with one, or several, of these barriers to effective communication. This podcast will give you tangible tips to communicate in a more impactful way within your church or ministry.
In this fast-paced world, who doesn't feel overwhelmed by busyness? There's nothing quite so American as the stress we put on (and really, the stress caused by) doing more and thinking bigger. That's why, today, I want to talk about a transformative insight that I just came up with: Less is More! All joking aside, this is an aphorism that has been thrown around for almost a century now, and yet, it seems that simplifying our lives is easier said than done. So, let's delve into the beauty of simplicity and how it can enhance all areas of your life. By focusing on what truly matters, we can experience deeper connections with our loved ones, a clearer path to spiritual growth in our parishes, and a more balanced and fulfilling life. In today's episode, you will: * Discover how simplifying family activities can create stronger connections. * Learn how taking small, meaningful steps in faith can be more impactful than overwhelming routines. * Explore surprising research revealing that a simpler approach to programming within a parish can lead to more meaningful spiritual growth. * Reflect on the idea that "less is more" in your personal life, and how embracing simplicity can lead to a more purposeful life, driven by faith and God's will. To further explore this concept, I highly recommend The Seven Practices of Effective Ministry (https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Practices-Effective-Ministry-Stanley/dp/1590523733/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2AETNC9C204Q2&keywords=7+practices+of+effective+ministry+by+andy+stanley&qid=1695055020&sprefix=7+pract%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-1), The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry (https://www.amazon.com/Ruthless-Elimination-Hurry-Emotionally-Spiritually/dp/0525653090/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=616991539103&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9024584&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2305513497639176263&hvtargid=kwd-775130631079&hydadcr=27459_14594963&keywords=ruthless+elimination+of+hurry&qid=1695054923&sr=8-1), and Simple Church: Returning to God's Process for Making Disciples (https://equip.archomaha.org/wp-admin/Returning%20to%20God's%20Process%20for%20Making%20Disciples).
