    04-13 Under the Fig Tree: The greatest joy and sorrow of church work with Jacob Manning

    No full text
    In this episode of Under the Fig Tree, host Rev. Micah Glenn is joined by temporary host Kati Gaschler (while Dr. Benjamin Haupt is on sabbatical) in a thought-provoking discussion with Jacob Manning, a second-year Master of Divinity student who is preparing for next year’s vicarage. Jacob grew up in California. His father was a pastor and his mother, a director of Christian education (DCE). He knew from age 7 that he wanted to be a pastor someday. For years, the family led a church that didn’t have a permanent building and would have to set up everything for a service and tear it down afterwards. That nomadic church experience has shaped his view of the church. “I feel like the church is everywhere,” he says. “We are the church. We are the people of God. And so I look at the building of the church, and I’m like, it’s really cool. It’s really awesome. At the same time, God is everywhere. God is present everywhere. Even in a small ballroom of a hotel, God is still there.” Jacob’s father experienced some hurt as a pastor but that didn’t dissuade Jacob from the pull to pastoral ministry himself. “You learn so much from just the people you talk to,” he says. “I think that’s honestly the greatest joy of ministry, which is also probably the deepest sorrow — people. … The people in a church are some of the most amazing things in the world.” He also shares some advice for others who are considering a church work career: “In spite of your concerns, in spite of your worries, in spite of your questions, you should come. If you’re thinking of doing this, but you have this question or you have this worry or this thing that happened to you awhile back, don’t let that stop you. You should still pursue it. You should see what’s going on at the Seminary. There’s a lot of great things happening here, a lot of formation that’s going to happen. Maybe your question will be answered. Maybe it won’t. … Don’t let worries, concerns, questions stop you from coming here to the Seminary.” In the recurring segment, “Ripe for the picking or leave it on the tree,” hear how the trio feel about multicolored pens, Trivial Pursuit, church coffee, peanut butter and more! “Under the Fig Tree” is a video and audio podcast of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

    The Abusive Effects of Trauma on Leadership Styles and Performance

    Get PDF
    This Doctor of Ministry (DMin) Major Applied Project (MAP) investigates the relationship between toxic leadership in the military and trauma, particular how trauma can have negative, abusive effects on leadership style and performance. Most research in this area addresses trauma in postvention. This MAP addresses trauma’s potential effect on leadership style and explores the use of a pre-emptive, preventative training. Leadership theory is explored as well as trauma in the form of mental disorders, such as PTSD and narcissism. The author’s experience as an ordained pastor of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, serving as an Army Chaplain, revealed the value of using Luther’s theological perspectives, i.e., theology of the cross, the proper distinction of Law and Gospel, the two realms, and the active and passive forms of righteousness. The theology of the cross is nested with insights from leadership theorists, military and combat assessments, and trauma studies to form a novel leadership theory that allows for Lutheran theology to play a role in preventing or minimizing trauma’s negative effects on leadership style and performance and, by extension, have a primary role in one’s decision-making process on leadership theory
