In today’s episode, we’re diving into something every Christian leader needs — people skills.

As Christian leaders, our people skills are not just practical — they’re spiritual. Jesus Himself said the greatest commandment is to love God and love people.

Key Verse: Colossians 3:12 — “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”

How to Lead with People Skills — Even When It’s Hard

When it gets hard:

• Pray before you speak.
• Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom.
• Remember that every person is made in the image of God — even the difficult ones.

And when you get it wrong because we all do, be quick to apologize. That alone can transform a relationship.

Reflection + Action Steps

• Who in your life or leadership role do you need to reconnect with?
• Where might God be calling you to communicate more clearly, or with more compassion?
• How can you reflect Jesus in every conversation this week?
