In Part 3 of the One Vision, One Service Christmas series, Prentiss L. Thompson brings the focus to one of the most powerful—and most needed—leadership qualities during the holiday season: compassionate leadership.

Christmas ministry is beautiful, but it’s also demanding. Volunteers are stretched, staff are balancing heavy workloads, and emotions run high as the season amplifies both joy and personal challenges. In this episode, Prentiss breaks down what it truly means to lead not just with strategy and excellence, but with heart.

He explores how compassionate leadership creates healthier teams, smoother services, and a stronger sense of unity across the entire ministry. From understanding team fatigue to managing expectations and communicating with clarity, Prentiss emphasizes the difference between pushing people and pastoring people.

Listeners will learn:

• How compassionate leadership strengthens trust and collaboration
• Why emotional awareness is vital for Christmas service preparation
• Ways to support volunteers and staff who may be overwhelmed or grieving
• How to balance excellence with empathy
• Practical steps leaders can take to cultivate a caring, resilient team culture

With storytelling, wisdom, and real ministry experience, this episode challenges leaders to slow down, see their people, and lead in a way that reflects the heart of Christ—especially in the busiest season of the year.

If your church wants to serve with unity, grace, and intentional care this Christmas, Part 3 of the series is a must-listen.
