What We Learned Last Year

As a learning community, we want to share some of our best resources with you, let you get to know our team a little better and give you a peek into what we’re learning. We hold a shared belief that, especially in a context where the pace of change is so rapid, ongoing learning that is fed by curiosity about what’s happening in our ministry context, is an essential way of being.

In this episode, we’ve gathered a some of our team together to talk about what we learned last year, to share a resource that will be helpful to our listeners, and to let us in on what they want to learn this year. 

Conversation Overview

Trisha Taylor

  • Learning to see her autopilot and intentionally disrupt it to “live more consciously, more thoughtfully, more awake.”
  • Two tools that have helped Trisha do this have been journalling and a “professional who knows how to hold space and listen.”
  • Don’t Look Up [movie]

Aundrea Baker

Mac McCarthy 

  • Over the past year Mac has been learning “how to process pain in ministry” and setting appropriate boundaries. 
  • Two resources that have helped Mac work through this learning has been a coach and resources from Dan White Jr. and The Kineo Center
  • This year he is planning to do a deep dive with his team into a leadership model that includes both men and women working together using Better Together

Tim McGee

Dawn Bird

Victor Chiao

  • Victor said this past year he has been learning how to practice courage and draw from his guiding principles in the face of anxious situations.
  • And while he says he didn’t have any tangible resources he offered these thoughts, “find others with a shared vision, a community that fosters safety, that allows you…to lean into those areas of discomfort and to have a chance to choose courage.”
  • Another way he is planning to lean into discomfort is by up Jiujitsu this year.
