We all love to keep up our appearances. But hiding our struggles and weaknesses doesn't help us—or the people around us.
Use this 22-page training theme to explore with fellow staff members and volunteers the value of, and place for, vulnerability in ministry. Included are assessments, a case study, devotionals, how-to articles, and more. NOTE: You have permission to make up to 1,000 copies of this resource to be distributed in a church or educational setting.
