If the emotional side of ministry keeps catching you off guard, it’s worth paying attention to what that might reveal about your own emotional intelligence. Scott Sanders and Jo Gibbs look at the practical side of emotional intelligence, why it matters for everyday ministry, and what gets in the way of developing it.

• What low EQ looks like in normal, everyday interactions
• How a leader’s reactions influence the tone of a team
• Why some ministry cultures downplay emotions and how that limits growth
• Ways to spot your own physical and behavioural cues under pressure
• A simple framework for restoring a relationship after you’ve handled something poorly
