A Behind-the-Scenes Perspective on the New Stephen Minister Training Module 6 Resources
In this video, Rev. Justin Schlueter, Director of Training at Stephen Ministries, shares a behind-the-scenes perspective on the development of the newly updated resources for Stephen Minister training module 6, “Assertiveness: Relating Gently and Firmly.”
Featuring Stephen Ministries’ new book, Caring Assertiveness: Relating Directly, Honestly, and with Respect, the new module 6 resources are a great tool for your entire Stephen Ministry:
-
You’ll use the module in initial training with all future classes of Stephen Ministers.
-
You can use this new module for four hours of continuing education with your current Stephen Ministers to reinforce and strengthen their assertiveness skills.
-
You can also read Caring Assertiveness as a Stephen Leader Team and then possibly hold a retreat or several team meetings to discuss how you can apply the assertiveness principles in leading a more effective Stephen Ministry.
