Lectures on Designs for Leadership Training

The work of leadership includes preparing other people to lead. Leadership training asks how people can grow in character, judgement and competence so that service continues and others are equipped to contribute. These lectures approach that task through three connected questions. What kind of leader are we seeking to form? How do people learn and change? What relationships, practices and structures help that growth continue? The three parts move from biblical and theological foundations to learning design and then to the culture and methods of leadership development.

Lectures on Conflict Management

These lectures bring biblical reflection into conversation with practical frameworks for recognising patterns, managing emotion, listening across differences and designing an appropriate response. Their purpose is to support thoughtful choices when relationships are strained and familiar methods no longer seem adequate. The twelve chapters follow four movements: understanding conflict; examining cultural and relational factors; considering approaches to resolution; and designing interventions across cultures.

Lectures on Introduction to Pentecostalism

These lectures introduce Pentecostal faith and its meaning for Christian ministry. The chapters move from definitions and biblical foundations to historical origins, global and African expressions, doctrine, worship, interpretation, preaching and public witness. They conclude by considering everyday discipleship and leadership.
