Have you ever been in a situation where you need to have a crucial conversation, but opinions are strong, stakes are high and emotions are rolling like Niagara falls? We try to handle conflict God’s way using Matthew 18, but how many times does it seem like our approach fails miserably and we either can’t solve the problem? We make it worse by hurting others or by trying to keep ourselves from being hurt.

Listen now to find out why you should add this tool to your leadership repertoire!

Do you lack committed board members on your leadership team? Is your board lacking unity? Are you wondering why your board is not functioning smoothly? In today’s episode, we want to focus on the characteristics that are necessary to develop as a leader. These biblical principles are characteristics that God calls all Christians to, but especially as leaders, we need to intentionally consider how these principles can help us serve those who are in our communities and also function as a board in a manner that is worthy to be emulated.
Integrity - Titus 2:7 ESV
Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity
Courage - Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Respect - Philippians 2:2-4then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Humility - Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

That is a very frustrating moment. It really might be because you are missing this one crucial piece of the puzzle. What is it? Open lines of communication. If you can promote a culture of open communication between parents and teachers, your co-op will reap great rewards. Stay with us to hear about how you can set up your co-op to promote communication!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Happy End of the Year! Homeschool mama! You made it! Are you SOOOO ready for a break? Us too! It’s so tempting to just put away all the school stuff for the year and not think about anything related to homeschool or community or planning. . . We all need a break. But just closing the books and not looking at or thinking about them again is probably not the best approach to your year end. In this episode, we want to encourage you to take the time needed to end your year well. Now is the time to reflect back on the year and record what went well and what could be improved upon. To give thanks for the growth and look for areas that still need to change. To solicit feedback and process. In this episode, we give some suggestions on how you can end your year well, and truly rest during this break.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands.
