The role of men in leadership is being revaluated in the midst of abuse and scandal. Yet these are difficult waters to tread. How do we tell the difference between healthy and toxic masculinity? How should men and women relate to each other in a team leadership setting? Peyton, Andrea, and Barry address these issues and more in the latest edition of the Team Leadership Podcast.

Daniel Yang joins Peyton Jones for this special edition of the Team Leadership Podcast to talk about how marginalized kingdom voices are critical for the future of the Church. Find the article mentioned in this episode about preparing immigrant church planters for North American training here.

Preaching is serious business and has stirred up more than a few arguments about its purpose and the way it's to be handled. While some leaders favor expositional approaches, others preach from burdens or pressing issues more regularly. As Peyton Jones and Barry Waters discuss in this episode, there's more than one right way to preach, depending on your APEST function. That's why, when it comes to team leadership, there shouldn't just be one person that bears all the burden of preaching.

Even in the most egalitarian churches, women can easily be excluded from leadership and other ministry opportunities. Oftentimes, we fail to recognize and address the way that women have been socialized differently by our culture and churches to take a back seat. In this episode, Peyton and Andrea Jones interview Dr. Susan Harris Howell on what gendered socialization is, why it matters to the church, and how we can remove invisible barriers to women in leadership.

Peyton Jones and Barry Waters have led in APEST ministry structures for years to the point where anything else almost seems foreign. Yet this is not the norm for most churches. In this episode, they discuss whether someone can move back into non-APEST systems after being sold out to that paradigm for so long or whether it "ruins" you for team leadership.

Most ministry leadership teams are male-dominated, but when that happens, we leave much of what God wants to say and do on the table. In this episode, Peyton and Andrea Jones talk with Send Network's Tiffany Smith about how to bridge the gaps in our leadership when it comes to including women.

In this episode, Peyton, Andrea, and Barry continue the conversation on what full time staff roles might look like for each member of a leadership team. Together, they discuss the activities of the evangelist, shepherd, and teacher.

God has wired our brains in incredibly beautiful and surpirising ways. Understanding how he has designed the ways we think and relate to each other is an important part of leading as a team, so Peyton and Andrea Jones sit down with neuroscientist and ministry leader Jessie Cruickshank to crack open how the brain affects team leadership.

One of the most important questions when it comes to team leadership is: how do you divide the labor? It's easy when there's a single person at the top, but how do you decide who does what when there's a leadership team? Peyton and Andrea Jones discuss what it looks like for Apostles and Prophets in the first of two parts on this topic.

Put two people into a room together and they can find something to disagree about. A whole team? Yes, they'll find even more disagree on. So how do you keep disagreements from getting out of hand and derailing the mission? Join Peyton, Andrea, and Barry for a discussion on navigating the politics of team leadership.
