Wisdom From The Field Podcasts
Welcome to this library of audio recordings of brief interviews with skilled interim ministers. Each recording, or Bit of Wisdom, offers thoughts and practical guidance in dealing with a particular challenge the interim minister has faced in their ministry. Recordings are short – 5 to 10 minutes each. Transcripts are also available. We offer these Bits of Wisdom for anyone who can benefit from them: interim ministers, those considering becoming an interim minister, lay leaders, judicatory staff, search committees, and the like. In addition, please let us know of additional topics or resources that you would find helpful for us to add to the CoachingForInterims website.
