TODAY ON THE PODCAST…
Meet Rodney Cox, who founded Ministry Insights International in 2001 to bring personality assessment tools and transformational relationship principles to more than 400,000 church leaders, teams, and married couples worldwide. He is the author of Leading From Your Strengths, Love and Money, Different By Design, which aim to support you in identifying and using your unique skills. He also serves in a Principal capacity at Alliance Ministries in Birmingham, Alabama, where they equip, encourage, and engage believers, connecting their passions and abilities to God’s call on their lives to transform the world.
IN THIS EPISODE…
You’ll learn how Rodney began to see God’s design for differences, then start to understand how unconscious human behavior can positively or negatively impact critical human relationships. He discusses the idea of conflict and why what we do in the midst of conflict is so vital and his philosophy that it is in the place of mutual submission that you’ll find the safest place of rest and the greatest peace when you lean in instead of walling each other off and judging one another. Rodney also shares the three central principles of leading from your strengths and how they can work to empower leaders to discover their God-given strengths.
“You can have all the leadership acumen in the world, but if you don't have relationships, you don't have anything.” - Rodney Cox
