102: Best Care Ministry: Teach People To Care Even When They’re Afraid | with Kari Bartkus
While formalized care teams can be great, there’s no replacement for care that’s authentic and organic.
So often we see needs, but we stumble in our efforts or are held back by discomfort or fear of saying the wrong thing.
What if there were a way to overcome the obstacles and help others do the same?
Kari Bartkus, author of Courageous Care, joins us in this episode to share how.
Listen in to hear:
- Why caring well is one of the biggest gifts a small church offers
- That each of us - no matter what personality - is designed to care well
- The 5 biggest obstacles that hold us back from caring
- Why showing up is more important than knowing what to say
- Specific steps to move past fear and discomfort
