BetterThanBlank: Notes from Staff Meeting

  • Chris · 2 years ago
    I had the chance to do a 1/2 day workshop with Nancy at the Willow Arts conference on this topic and I knew going in (and was reminded when it was over) that #2 is FOR SURE the big one for me.

    I'm learning every day how important it is to bring issues to the forefront with people who work above, alongside and below me and it is not a natural thing for me to do at all.

    i pretty much have all those down....jk!
    i would say mine is absence of trust because i have burned by people in ministry before and because i have this mentality that if i don't do it then it won't get done right. basically that boils down to pride, ouch!

    sorry that should say "have been burned".

    Ok so this is for the two of you who replied...

    Mine is definitely #2 (who does #2 work for?, you gotta show that turd who's boss!)

    I hate having conflict - but this article said "conflict is the only way to true intimacy", I was like wha?... oh yeaaaaaaaaaaah...

    So, I am learning. I've got a lot of growing to do.

    i know i'm weird but i love conflict! ha ha! i really do, it gets me in trouble a lot but at least you never have to guess what i'm thinking.
