No one likes passive aggressive communication. And it usually falls in the category of “I know it when I see it” … but we can’t always define it. We don’t always understand it.
Which makes it much harder to stop it.
So today on the podcast, join me for a counselor’s tips on building healthier communication patterns in your ministry and at home. We’ll look at some common examples of passive aggressive communication along with a few practical tips for how to handle it.
Every pastor and ministry leader needs strong communication skills. Let’s work on it together.

It’s not your job or calling in life to make people happy. And despite your best efforts, it would be impossible to do.
All of us in ministry can take heart from the Apostle Paul’s reminder in Galatians 1:10. “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
The reality of life (and definitely of ministry work) is that people complain. It may not be good or godly, but it is going to happen. Sometimes, people will even complain about you, to you, or about your loved ones. At times, people will be thoughtless in their comments. Other times, they will be downright rude.
In today’s episode, we are not going to try to pretend that these moments don’t hurt. They usually do. And we are not going to try to brainstorm ways to get people to stop complaining.
But we are not going to let those complaints control how we feel, think, or act. Instead, we are going to look at some practical tips for how you can keep a positive attitude even when people are complaining!
After all, you are not trying to please people, but to please Christ.
Join me in today’s conversation, friend.

Grief is hard. No one likes it. It’s never easy.
But it is unavoidable.
And one of the realities of grief is that it is a special place for Christians to step in and offer care. It is a time when people need someone to come alongside them. People often turn to their faith community most especially during times of grief.
So, how does a pastor or other ministry leader better understand what’s going on when someone is grieving? How can you come alongside them and be a genuine support?
Today, I’ll share about the classic 5 stages of grief, along with some counselor tips for how to care for people well when they are grieving. Join me for today’s conversation.

One of the most common calls that Christ gives to his followers is that they should forgive one another. It’s all over the pages of Scripture!
And it is hard.
When we sin or mess up, it is hard to apologize. We wonder what to say, how to say it, and sometimes if we even need to bother. And then, when others sin against us, we struggle to forgive.
But no relationship can be healthy, intimate, or meaningful without being able to handle apologies and forgiveness.
So today, we’ll share some tips for how to handle this important area in your own relationships, and how to help those in your church or ministry context do it too.
Let’s jump in.

As a Christian counseling agency, one of the most common questions that we get from our local pastors is “How can I help this couple in my church who is struggling?”
Today, let’s offer some resources!
There are plenty of ideas for conversations, questions to ask, and things to try with couples who are struggling. But one of the best ways to find a good book that can expand your own knowledge, and which you can easily offer to couples who are looking for help.
Sure, there are some great podcasts, videos, and websites to help couples. But books are a classic for a reason! Today, I walked around our counseling offices to gather up a few favorites from our own bookshelves - and I want to introduce you to them.
You can find links to each book in our blogpost for this episode.

Ministry is hard work. Leadership is hard work. Put them together?

So today, let’s talk about some life habits that will help you be intentional to care for yourself, your ministry, and every area of life as you serve others. These daily habits are not magic wands to make everything better. But they will help you draw closer to Jesus and be wise in this busy, modern, technological world.
Let’s dive in.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
As you build relationships with people in your ministry, you will certainly interact with people who are struggling with anxiety.
But will you recognize them?
Anxiety is one of the most common struggles in our modern culture. In fact, it’s so common that many people don’t even realize that it is a problem! They don’t realize that there is hope. It is possible to experience life without anxiety.
Before you can help someone with their anxiety struggles, you have to realize that is a problem. We have to identify it in order to seek change, pray, and be intentional to move toward healing.
So today on the podcast, you’ll find some common signs that someone is struggling with anxiety. These symptoms don’t guarantee that anxiety is a problem, but they should raise a flag for you and lead you to reach out to learn more and help where you can.
(Don’t worry, our next episode will focus on how to help!)
Hit that play button and let’s dive in, to learn together about some common symptoms of anxiety.

“In this world, you will have trouble,” Jesus tells his followers. “But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
One of the long-term “troubles” that many people in your ministry struggle with is the aftermath of trauma, hurt, and emotional baggage. In fact, you may struggle with this yourself.
In our broken world, trauma and emotional pain is very common. And it’s also hard to ministry to people who are struggling with this! You may not know many details, or even know that someone has a hard background, but it is safe and practical to assume that MANY people in your ministry have hard, painful things in their past.
Here at The iHope Center, we have helped hundreds of people through trauma-related hurts. And God is so faithful, so gentle, so kind to bring healing through the gospel! One of the big ways He does that is through the church and through bringing Christians together to offer care and support.
Today on the show, we’ll share 5 Do’s and 5 Don’ts for helping people who are struggling with trauma and emotional baggage. You don’t need to be their professional counselor to make a difference in the healing journey. Dive in for some practical tips today.

Ministry work can take its toll on us. And in the busyness of it all, sometimes we forget to put any time or energy into caring for ourselves.

Today, we’ll look at 10 key areas of life where we ALL need coping skills! We’ll look at some specific examples and lots of ideas, so that you can easily find something that will make sense in your life.
Coping skills are not just a buzz word or a thing for people who are desperately struggling. We all need them - and we all need them to be healthy, godly, and effective.

Join me today for a look at 8 unique ways that spiritual leaders must support those fighting addiction. Find encouragement, ideas, and support for this hard journey - for yourself and those to whom you are ministering.

Ministry work involves helping people through many difficult and painful life circumstances. And one of the hardest is helping people who are dealing with an addiction. There are a lot of ways that pastors and other Christian leaders can help people when they are fighting addiction, but one of the most basic ways is to offer practical, Christ-centered, appropriate resources.
But what are some of those resources?
Here at The iHope Center, that is one of the most common questions we hear from local pastors. So if you’ve ever found yourself feeling stuck in how to help someone who is fighting an addiction, you are not alone.
Today’s episode will not offer miracle solutions. We are not medical doctors, nor do we specialize in addictions counseling. But we will share some helpful, practical resources to get you started!
Whether someone is struggling with alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography or other addictions - even if they are using these things in dangerous ways but perhaps not technically “addicted” - you can feel more confident in offering them help with some resources in your back pocket.
Let’s dive in.

Hearing people and helping people FEEL heard are two different things.
In today’s busy, loud, disconnected world, feeling heard is an incredibly meaning experience. Everyone wants to know that they are seen, valued, and appreciated.
Of course, we cannot make people feel anything. We cannot guarantee that people will always react to us in the way we hope or expect.
But we can approach our interactions with people with intentionality. We can practice the skill of listening.
So join me today for a counselor’s look at how we can listen well and help people feel heard, seen, and valued - not just by us, but by the God who created them, loves them, and is seeking relationship with them.

Many of us think we are better listeners than we really are.
But there is a reason the Bible tells us to be quick to listen and slow to speak (James 1:19). Listening is powerful and important. And the reality of human relationships is that being a GOOD listener does take some intentional effort.
It’s more than just hearing the words someone is saying. It’s more than just finishing a conversation. And if we are in ministry, trying to care for others and show them the love of Jesus, it is especially important that we truly are quick to listen… and that we listen well.
So, join me today for a counselor’s perspective on 3 keys to being a good listener. It’s not complicated, but it might take some effort and some practice. All for God’s glory!

One of the most common things that Christian counselors help clients with is getting their thought life more in line with Philippians 4:8.
When someone is stuck in negative thinking, it is not honoring to God and not helpful to their relationships or emotional health. And guess what? Pastors and ministry leaders struggle with their thinking too!
In our last episode, we looking at the 5 R’s to turn your thoughts around and stop the negative thinking. Today, we’ll dive deeper into one of the hardest steps there: replacing the negative thought with a positive thought. Not a fake thought. Not an unbiblical self-affirmation. A true, good, noble, beautiful, helpful thought… one that is more in line with Philippians 4:8.
Philippians 4:8 (NIV ) - Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

At some point in life, everyone will struggle with conflict. The church is not immune! Even in the best ministry, there are different personalities, priorities, and preferences. Conflict will happen.
So what’s a pastor or leader to do?
Of course, the top urgency is to start with prayer. Pray for the other person, for the situation, for your own reaction. Be quick to listen and slow to speak. Seek to understand.
But if conflict is escalating, there are action steps that can help. Let’s look together at 4 steps that will help you manage and resolve conflict in your ministry (and probably every other area of life too).
