14: Co-workers in God’s Field: Building a culture of shared mission.
This is the second of a three part mini-series about how leaders can create a church culture where there is a sense of FAMILY, where they labour together in a FIELD and stand together in the FIGHT. It's based on Philippians 2:25 where Paul commends Epaphroditus as a brother (Family), co-worker (Field) and fellow soldier (Fight). Thanks to Pastor Lars Halvorsen (C3 Australia Regional Director) for sharing this insight with Rohan and Jill.

11: Grace and Truth: Addressing society’s ’Hot Topics’ in the church.
With our society so polarised these days around hot topics it can be hard for ministry leaders to know how to approach these issues. How do we address sensitive issues that carry so much emotion for so many? Should we bury our head in the sand and pretend these questions don't exist? Are we take a side and rail against the opposing view? Or is it possible to find an approach somewhere in between? Rohan and Jill share their thoughts on leading a church community in these challenging times.

10: Recharge to Lead: The importance of rest in ministry.

The prevailing culture in recent decades often left little space for rest, holidays and sabbath etc. Fortunately, this is changing.

07: Kingdom Mission for small churches: Strategies and insights.
Engaging a small church in Kingdom Mission work can be a challenge. Limited resources make it impossible to do everything. But you can do something. And you can train and equip your people to live their own lives with a Kingdom Mission focus. In this episode Rohan and Jill discuss how they’ve been able to establish Mission work at each of their locations through the charity arm of their church. But you don’t need a registered tax deductible charity to be effective. You can always start somewhere.
In this podcast Rohan mentioned a ‘Justice List’ he’s put together. You can download a copy by clicking here.

03: Dealing with discouragement: When your reality doesn’t match your vision.
Ministry life rarely lives up to our hopes, vision and expectations. And even when things are going well a visionary leader will still see further ahead to what could be. How we manage the gap between our vision and our reality will play a big part in our effectiveness as leaders. In this episode Rohan and Jill discuss how we can stay full of faith and hope, lead our teams into a place of hope while not getting discouraged and pulling back, or worse still, venting on our teams.
