Staff Ten Commandment Blogs

The reality of sin means we all must be diligent to preserve the priority and sweetness of relationships on our team. I spent a year working with our team on The Ten Commandments of Ministry Staff Relationships. It helped our team refocus on relationships in a way that has only strengthened our ministry effectiveness. Each commandment is an effort to apply the biblical teaching on relationships to the complex world of staff culture. It is our hope that it will strengthen the relationships on your team.
