Windsor Crossing (part 2): Emotionally Healthy Staff

By the title, I don’t mean to imply that Windsor Crossing’s staff has “arrived” — but the staff is intentionally journeying toward emotional health, and that’s a beautiful, powerful thing!

As you know, Randy and I met with 3 staff members at Windsor Crossing (WC) in St. Louis.  Thanks, Andy, Judy and Toby – I enjoyed our time together; you guys rock, and y’all are wonderfully goofy (see photo of Judy).  Here are a couple things that struck me from my conversations with the WC crew.

The senior pastor at WC believes strongly in bringing emotional health into the church — and that has made all the difference.  Andy and Judy couldn’t stress this enough!  Rule of thumb: If the senior pastor isn’t fully supportive of integrating emotional health, that initiative has little hope.  Question:  So how do we get more senior pastors to support and fight for integrating emotional health into the church? 

At WC, the whole staff is journeying toward emotional health — and they’re intentional about helping each other journey.  Here’s a practical example.  Engaging in conflict is hard; and conflict resolution is just as hard or harder.  But we can’t love each other well or grow deeply in intimacy or maturity without conflict and conflict resolution.  And, unfortunately, conflict is hard (most people fight or run) – it takes a certain amount of emotional health to do it well, with great love.  The staff at WC loves conflict — they move toward it, for the sake of love, growth and unity!

As a quick side note, something that’s unique about the WC staff is that several staff members, including the senior pastor, have masters degrees in counseling.  I’ll try to post more about WC soon!
