Self-Care and Resilience in Ministry – SMBC

It was great to return to Sydney Missionary and Bible College 8th – 12th July for a full intensive week teaching the Australian College of Theology Course PC073 on Self-Care and Resilience in Ministry.

The course included Biblical reflections on self-care and resilience, understanding the unique stresses and dynamics of ministry, managing adversity and crisis in ministry, rest, supportive relationships, the role of emotional intelligence in self-care and resilience, and more.

The notes and resources made available to students through the course are on the SMBC moodle interface.

Empowering Leadership

The last time Tim taught the ACT Course on Empowering Leadership at Sydney Missionary and Bible College was a week short of the 2020 COVID lockdowns around the country.

We have all learned a great deal about leadership through the pandemic and the lessons keep coming now we are COVID normal.

It was great to have a full intensive week 4th – 8th July to rework the course with leaders who are all out in contexts in which empowering others is an important part of their ministries.

The course covered Biblical reflections on leadership, engagement with contemporary theories of leadership, empowering leadership skills and key areas in which empowerment is used in the church.

Increasing Resilience in Adversity (COVID-19)

Resilience is a dynamic capacity comprising the attitudes, the skills and the resources to cope effectively with adversity, to recover quickly from unusual stress, to respond positively to significant challenges, and to adapt learning to positively tackle difficult problems. Resilience is complex involving personal attributes, acquired knowledge and wisdom, learned behaviours, important external support relationships and access to resources. The following workshop sheet is adapted for COVID-19 from training sessions conducted by The Johnmark Extension over the last 5 years.

Welcome

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange

Over recent years teaching skills in Conflict Management has become an area in its own right for me. Find conflict resources and training in peacemaking here:
