In this video, I discuss a challenging situation that many people in ministry might face: dealing with a difficult coworker who makes snide comments and tears down others aka "mean girls of church ministry." I share my own experience of not being prepared to handle difficult coworkers and offer some advice on how to approach this situation. I mention a book called "Crucial Conversations" that can be helpful in learning how to have difficult discussions. #churchleadership #childrensministry #kidmin

Ultimately, I suggest three options: confronting the person and having an open conversation, ignoring them and trying to work around them, or considering whether it's time to move on. I emphasize that only the individual and God know the right answer in these situations. I share examples of how fight, freeze, or flight responses can be used, and advise caution in making impulsive decisions.
Every channel needs to have guiding principles and this channel is no exception. I'm changing my content (mostly)....there will still be game content around holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. But I'm adding in the knowledge I've gleaned from my career as a Children's Ministry Director with a Masters of Divinity.
