    Episode 73 - Barnabas: Characteristics of a Peacemaker

    In this Episode of Church Leadership in Focus Dr. Don Hicks teaches about Barnabas: Characteristics of a Peacemaker. He explains the Bible, rather than providing detailed methods or techniques for mediating disputes, Scripture focuses primarily on describing the character qualities of people, like Barnabas, who are used by God to bring others together. Although mediation techniques are important, the best technique will fail if the mediator lacks the qualities exemplified in Barnabas’ character.   Tell us how we're doing Techknow Computer Center, LLCProud sponsor of the Church Leadership in Focus Podcast.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

    Episode 70 - People Will Tell You a Lot If You Listen

    In this episode of Church Leadership in Focus, Dr. Don Hicks explores the vital role of listening in church leadership and conflict resolution. He begins by addressing a growing problem in churches today—the tendency to weaponize disagreements. Instead of seeking understanding, people often rush to express opinions or assume the worst about others. Drawing from Scriptures such as Proverbs 18:2, James 1:19, Proverbs 15:1, and Ephesians 4:29, Dr. Hicks highlights how biblical wisdom consistently calls believers to humility, gentleness, and listening overreacting.

This episode walks through the heart of Christian leadership—leading from connection, not compulsion… from relationship, not results… from abiding, not striving. Whether you’re a pastor, elder, deacon, ministry leader, or simply someone wanting to grow deeper in Christ, this conversation will refresh your soul and re‑center your leadership.
