I would like to appreciate axx for the wonderful lessons in this course.
This course has taught me to understand what a team is and the importance of team work, highlighting the stages on how to develop a strong team and the challenges that each stages has. It has also given me a clear picture on how we Christ followers often give up in team especially when our emotions take a hold of us we feel misunderstood by those leading us or those we are leading.
This course has also given me a proper understanding of those in my ministry and how to understand and respond to their reactions on certain matters. Especially in the area of emotions, I confess i never always used to understand certain aspects of their emotions and often never gave a one on one approach to their negative motives, so i often ended up telling them my part and not showing, empathy, sympathy etc. This has often been a challenge to raising a strong and courageous team. However, their are they’re are are other which I’ve been encouraged to continue doing and not stop in order for a formation of a strong team and that is to build trust.
All lessons was very blessed for me to grow in Christianity.
Thank God immensely for this course. I am now a better communicator as i can now use the skills i have acquired from to offer pastoral care first for my family and then to everyone that God will put at my disposal.
I am blessed to have received this teaching to the end , it’s an eyes opener and if one follows the principles , teamwork would be interesting.
Principles of teamwork are of great importance if one must grow in the ministry and cooperate in life, most things we undermined are things that could make one a complete Christian.
The lesson was great as the lecturer unpacked the subject of group behavior especially in working together as a term. Having worked in a term, I simply apply some of the lessons in a more practical terms. I can say for sure that everything that was discussed here is the truth. We need to understand individual behaviors because these are contributors to group behavior. Individuals always will bring their personal behaviors in a group situation and so we need to understand how people will react at a personal level.
In this course you’ll learn how to navigate some of the challenges associated with team dynamics. Topics covered in this course include conflict styles and resolutions, narcissism, success, status, ego, team reflexivity, virtual teams and more!

Navigating Team Dynamics is indeed an interesting topic and it’s amazing to hear some wonderful team dynamics which is of great value but yet we don’t value them, I am blessed to be a part of this teaching
Two cannot walk together except they agree.
Pastoral Ministry rely heavily on team work.
In this course, different aspects of team work have been discussed. I was personal imparted and I think I can handle my team better now.
Thanks to Dr. Nigel and all the Axx Bible college members.
Team work brings results.
To understand the real leadership dynamics one must truly agree to have time with these kind of lectures. The most interesting part is the interview sections with some experienced and practical leaders in their fields of learning and practice.
To me am blessed in various ways as new ideas are brought to bare eith what I already know enhancing my knowledge and understanding of ministry.
I enjoyed the insights of ths module and learnt quite a lot of skills in the field of the subject matter. Thank you to the presenters, may God continue to use you so pwerful and may He bless you and your loved ones.

This is a classic study of the book of Acts of the Apostles with it applications to leadership in the Church. The aspect of the Local Church Governance resonates perfectly during these days.
Great analysis and very beneficial.
The Jewishness of the Acts of Apostle is a lesson that is thought provoking to me as a student. The leadership lessons applied are very timely.
I now am aware of many more aspects of the Book of Acts now.
really enjoyed learning the new things and more in depth. Cannot wait to put it into practice

This course is very important for all leaders, the knowledge gained can help to open many doors in ministry. A leader is a servant who serves in love.
Going through the course lectures it really provides direct pastoral leadership skills and serious roadmap to one’s ministry and vision guidlines.
It is worth studying this course as a leader in pastoral Ministry.

I found the content of the program very rich and helpful. However I felt Dr Ian was talking so fast and going so fast through some points. I feel for some parts we need more time to digest the content specially that there is too much content in each section.
