How can we better understand anxiety and better navigate conflict in our lives and ministries? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Kevin Ford, Chief Catalyst at Leighton Ford Ministries. Kevin's expertise is in leadership, organizational culture, and strategy. He's worked with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and government agencies. But his passion is working with the church. His most recent book is entitled Attentive Church Leadership. Together, Kevin and Jason explore some of the sources of anxiety that we find in our lives and in our ministries. Kevin also shares how we can address and navigate conflict in healthy ways.
