Expanding God's Kingdom was never meant to be accomplished by one solitary church leader. We were gifted differently to work alongside each other and accomplish more together than we ever could on our own.

It's been a great second season for the Team Leadership Podcast, but it's time to take a break to prepare for the next one. Peyton, Andrea, and Barry are taking a short hiatus to rest, plan, and pave the way for another round of episodes with the Team Leadership Podcast. Sit tight and we'll be uploading more episodes soon.
In recent years, bullying and callused leadership has gotten the spotlight, but is it possible to swing the pendulum too far in the other direction? Can leaders be too nice? Peyton and Barry think so! You still need to be able to handle conflict and the difficulties of people who are still being transformed into the image of Jesus.
When we stray too far into being people-oriented, we run the risk of dysfunction and not getting enough done through our organizations. Yet if we go too far towards being task-oriented, our team members end up just being numbers that show up for work. We use people to accomplish tasks. But why do we think that being task-oriented and people-oriented are at odds? Peyton and Barry believe that we need to value people and still get tasks done. The best way to do this is through investing in people to develop them, which allows them to work most efficiently and the organization thrives. Listen in to learn more.
Without innovation and creativity, a church will die because it will fail to keep up with a changing world. Even though God doesn't change, the way his church interacts with the rest of the world does need to at some level. Together, Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about how to remove obstacles and fear from team dynamics that make it difficult for people to bring forward and pursue new ideas.
Discipleship isn't just about personally following Jesus, it's both relational and interactive. Everyone on your team should be discipled and discipling others - that's how you can begin to catalyze a culture of discipleship in your church. So in this episode, Peyton Jones flies solo and talks about how to disciple others well in the context of team leadership.
Ministry isn't about using people to acheive your objectives, it's about empowering others and helping them be better so that everyone can fulfill God's mission. Mentoring and coaching then are part of a healthy team and in this episode, Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about how to create a culture that facilitates mentoring naturally.
Each one of us is an interim leader, which means we need to spend some time focusing on developing other leaders, both to replace us and to go beyond what we're currently doing. But talking about leadership development is the easy part. It's much more difficult to actually identify and develop leaders. Peyton, Andrea, and Barry get practical in this episode, discussing how they've looked for new leaders by observing people in their church, and how they draw out their gifts. They tackle challenging topics, like how to identify leaders who are more introverted and may not display the same type of public qualities that people normally list off for leaders.
Remote work is becoming increasingly common, and while it opens up opportunities for many people, it also presents unique challenges when you're leading a virtual team. Face-to-face leadership varies in signficant ways from digital leadership, so it's important to play by the new rules of the game. Peyton, Andrea, and Barry discuss how to keep your team on track and maximize your time together in this new edition of the Team Leadership Podcast.
Leadership teams lead together, but that can be challenging when everyone has a different style of leadership. Join Peyton, Andrea, and Barry as they talk about what the different leadership styles are, what motivates them, and the pros and cons of each. When you understand where both yourself and others are coming from, you can more easily find a path forward.
Change is the only constant in a church plant, so you'd better learn how to lead people through it well. Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about how to get buy in and make sure people are heard while you're leading them through change. They also discuss how to work with people who won't agree with you and how not to get bogged down by the 1-2% of people who are always in opposition.
Léonce Crump, pastor of Renovation Church in Atlanta and former NFL player for the Saints joins Peyton Jones on the Team Leadership Podcast to unpack his new book The Resilience Factor: A Step-by-Step Guide to Catalyze an Unbreakable Team. COVID exposed the weaknesses and fragility of church teams and structures as ministers quit and churches closed. Now more than ever, it's important to focus on distributing specialization and responsibility so that your team doesn't crumble under pressure. Among other things, Léonce share the importance of staying dialed in on your purpose as you experiment and seek new paths forward.
Many leaders don't consider the role that emotional intelligence plays in ministry and on leadership teams. It's an unseen dimension that we aren't trained on or aware of. However, as Peyton and Barry point out in this episode, it's critical to the health of a team. Low emotional intelligence manifests itself through immaturity, insecurity, and a lack of self-awareness. Yet when we get these things right, our teams are able to build trust and accomplish more.
Trust takes months and years to build, but can be lost in a moment. That's why you have to constantly be aware of your words and actions...are they cotinuing to build trust among your team? You don't graduate from building trust. In this episode, Peyton and Andrea talk about how to extend trust to your team by letting people take ownership, how to extinguish gossip before it erodes your culture, and how to make love and serving the foundation of your team environments.
Could anything be more frustrating that an awesome, capable, healthy, enthusiastic team that can't get anything done because of poor communication? Don't let that happen to your team. Listen in as Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about things like being open to questions, repetition, active listening, and the importance of being aware that a message sent is not the same as a message received.
When you put people together, it doesn't matter how much they love Jesus, problems will arise. So what should you do when your team's unity is threatened by disagreement and division? Peyton, Andrea, and Barry dive into the ways you can maintain unity on your team including communication, compromise, and companionship.
Everyone hits a wall in ministry and needs the support of others. That's why team leadership is so valuable. In this episode, Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about what to do when you notice that you or someone else needs a break from leadership and how to serve one another well in those seasons.
