LEAD YOUR HOMESCHOOL CO-OP | Community Building, Servant Leadership, Conflict Resolution, Policies and Procedures
Welcome to Lead Your Homeschool Co-op! Do you desire a Christian community with families that fit? Do you find yourself up late at night googling “conflict resolution” and “how to build a community”? Do you dream of a sustainable homeschool group only to feel discouraged when policies fail, logistics get in the way or a conflict comes up again? Hello! We are the Homeschool Community Builders.Together, we have more than 30 years of experience in leading successful homeschool groups. But at one time, we too were in co-ops that did not work for our families. We needed deep relationships and a community that would help our families grow in faith, In order to be a part of a sustainable Christian community, we stepped out in faith and trusted God’s plan to build the community that we desired. In this podcast, we will help you create Christ-centered policies, establish a close-knit culture, and develop strong leadership skills so that you can serve your community well. So grab a pen and paper, be ready to take some notes, and be encouraged. You can do this! Want resources, training, tips and tricks? Become an insider and get the latest freebies and info!

Have you ever been in a situation where you need to have a crucial conversation, but opinions are strong, stakes are high and emotions are rolling like Niagara falls? We try to handle conflict God’s way using Matthew 18, but how many times does it seem like our approach fails miserably and we either can’t solve the problem? We make it worse by hurting others or by trying to keep ourselves from being hurt. In today’s episode, we are doing a review of the book Crucial Conversations - Tools for Talking When Stakes are High. by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler. Listen now to find out why you should add this tool to your leadership repertoire!

Do you lack committed board members on your leadership team? Is your board lacking unity? Are you wondering why your board is not functioning smoothly? In today’s episode, we want to focus on the characteristics that are necessary to develop as a leader. These biblical principles are characteristics that God calls all Christians to, but especially as leaders, we need to intentionally consider how these principles can help us serve those who are in our communities and also function as a board in a manner that is worthy to be emulated.
Integrity - Titus 2:7 ESV
Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity
Courage - Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Respect - Philippians 2:2-4then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Humility - Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

That is a very frustrating moment. It really might be because you are missing this one crucial piece of the puzzle. What is it? Open lines of communication. If you can promote a culture of open communication between parents and teachers, your co-op will reap great rewards. Stay with us to hear about how you can set up your co-op to promote communication!
