Have you ever witnessed a tense moment in your ministry staff meeting? Picture this: It’s 10:15 at the Monday Morning Staff Meeting, and a teammate hesitantly shares, “I’m not sure this project can be done by this deadline.” Another teammate, eager to push forward, responds sharply, “If you’re not on board, just say it—I’ll handle it myself!”

Picture a ministry team bursting with promise: a visionary pastor, a gifted worship leader, a detail-oriented organizer, and an energetic children’s director, all united to launch transformative outreach.

Every ministry team I’ve served on has been full of people who genuinely wanted to reflect Christ’s love. But different personalities and perspectives often got in the way.
