May 29, 2018 058: Finding Staff Who Stick
As a ministry leader, there’s nothing more daunting than setting out to hire a new staff member. You might wonder: Will I be able to find someone who is a good fit for the role and our team? How long will it take? And, more importantly, how long with they stick around?
In today’s podcast, we get practical as we discuss not only the hiring process but also what you can do to engage and retain each member of your staff.
First up, you’ll hear from Doug Fields, executive director of the HomeWord Center for Youth and Family at Azusa Pacific University, on bringing out the best in those who work with you. Then guest host, and Orange’s own, Sarah Bragg interviews Sarah Jensen, educator and the Founder of KIPP Memphis Preparatory Elementary, on finding staff who stick around.

May 22, 2018 057: Confrontation, Boundaries and Deciding Not to Quit
We’ve all felt the Monday morning dread. I don’t want to go to work today, maybe I should just quit? The truth is this: Your calling to ministry is incredibly important and changing the world. The church needs you, and it needs you to not give up on it when you’re having a bad day or month or year.
Today on the podcast, we’re hearing from Tom Shefchunas as he schools us on boundaries and what they mean for ministry leaders. A life where we embrace boundaries is a life where we don’t always want to quit our jobs. Then, we interview Jessica Bealer and Gina McClain and get tips from their new book, Don’t Quit. And yes, confrontation roleplaying is involved.

We hope this episode encourages you to embrace boundaries, have the hard conversations you’ve been avoiding, and most importantly… enjoy Monday mornings again.

May 17, 2018 056: How to Become a Better Leader
If you’re checking out this podcast, you’re probably in some sort of leadership role. Maybe you lead a team at your church. Or maybe you lead a group of kids as a volunteer. Or maybe you’re leading your family at home. If any of these things is true, then this conversation is for you.
First we hear from Joel Manby. Known for his success in the business world, Joel has made a practice of applying the teachings of Jesus to professional settings. Then, Holly Crawshaw and Sarah Bragg sit down with Clay Scroggins to talk about principles from his book How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge. By the end of the episode, you’ll have practical steps you can take to lead from a place of purpose rather than position.

May 09, 2018 055: One Voice Across Your Family Ministry
As a ministry leader, you spend a lot of time thinking about what messages your kids, students, and volunteers hear within your ministry. What if you could multiply your impact by working in sync with the age-graded ministries on either ends of yours? After all, if you’re not careful, what you do, the next person can undo or vice versa.
That’s why today’s episode of the Pod focuses on an aligned messaging strategy for families and volunteers. First, Orange’s own Frank Bealer joins us as he shares three big ideas for Refining the Message. Then Ashley and guest host Dan Scott interview Nina Schmigdall from National Community Church (NCC) on principles related to aligning volunteers and parents in a transient culture.

May 01, 2018 054: The Best of The Orange Conference, Part II
What could happen if we saw everyone the way Jesus sees them? The students in our ministry who don’t listen or behave. Our neighbors who don’t know Jesus. Even ourselves, through our self-doubt and broken hearts.
On today’s episode, we’re listening to three inspiring talks from the Orange Conference 2017. First up is Jud Wilhite as he encourages us to stand firm in who God says that we are, not what the enemy wants us to believe about ourselves. Then, Andy Stanley speaks about the power of a broken heart and how God wants to use yours. Lastly, Danielle Strickland tells a story about her interaction with a Muslim evangelist that forever changed the way she does ministry.
