Show notes

#062 – Being vulnerable and honest is an important part of being human. We need people around us that we can be open and honest with. However, that doesn’t mean we should express our deepest thoughts and insecurities to the mailman as he walks by, does it? So, what boundaries and practices should we have in place to help us appropriately express our honest thoughts and feelings? In today’s episode of the podcast, Josh and Sarah discuss vulnerability, over-sharing, and how we can all begin practicing healthy vulnerability in our lives.

61. Yes Face vs. Stress Face Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

#061 – You can tell a lot by someone's body language, so what is yours communicating to your volunteers? Wearing a "stress face" to your ministry events can cause your volunteers to sense a danger that isn't even there. The good new is that with a little bit of intentionality, we can learn to wear a "yes face" that breathes life, energy, and encouragement to the people we encounter in ministry.

Show notes

#060 – If I were to ask you to think of a “needy” volunteer in your ministry, it probably wouldn’t take you very long to think of a name or two - but let me ask you this question - which of your volunteers are you investing the most of your time in? On today’s episode of the podcast, Josh and Jeff discuss how if we’re not careful, we can end up investing too much of our time with our “needy” volunteers, and not nearly enough time with our thriving, “need-meeting,” volunteers.
