Mixed Ministry: Working Together as Brothers and Sisters in an Oversexed Society

How do you relate to the opposite sex in a working environment? The New Testament treats Christian men and women as sacred siblings. Is that relationship a reality in your ministry? What are the appropriate bridges and fences? How can we learn to be “safe” in our dress, actions, and communication? How do sacred siblings interact in personal conversations, staff meetings, and professional development outings? In Mixed Ministry, the male and female authors explore these complex and thorny issues in depth, drawing on the thoughts, wisdom, and perspectives of men like Howard Hendricks, John Ortberg, Dan Allender, Frank James, Bill Hybels, and many others. This neglected topic, when properly understood, has the potential to revolutionize ministry.

When men and women catch this vision, the church will radically change, ministering more effectively to the whole body of Christ.

“Mixed Ministry is an important book for anyone in church leadership to read. It offers practical guidance, surprisingly refreshing examples, and great discussion topics for people who are serious about serving the Lord long-term.
Dr. Sarah Sumner, Author, Men and Women in the Church

“Sue, Kelley, and Henry have surfaced a significant shortcoming that is often overlooked in most organizations. Healthy partnerships between men and women co-workers are critical to success, and this book definitely tackles the subject head-on!” Norm Miller, Chairman of the Board, Interstate Battery System of America Dallas, TX

“Here are answers—courageous, biblical, and eminently practical solutions—to furtive questions about improper relationships. A book begging to be written, this realistic discussion invades our increasingly unmanageable fantasyland where men-woman ministry teams often flirt with disaster in disguise. Single or married, everyone who works with the opposite sex needs to read and ponder this excellent heads-up manual on how to stay out of sexual sinkholes.”
Howard G. Hendricks, Chairman, Center for Christian Leadership Distinguished Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary
