Intro to Biblical Risk Management

Risk is part of Christian ministry, especially in complex, cross-cultural, and high-risk environments. The challenge is neither to avoid every risk nor to embrace danger without restraint. It is to discern what faithfulness requires in each situation.

Drawing from the life and teaching of Jesus, this introductory workshop presents a biblical and practical approach to risk management. Together, we will explore the four quadrants of the Risk Response Matrix, consider the healthy operating zone between obedient courage and wise prudence, and apply the framework to decisions in your own context.
