How do we navigate the turbulent waters of church polarization and foster unity? Join me, Margie Bryce, along with Michael Bischoff from Soul Leader Resources, as we tackle this pressing issue on the Crabby Pastor podcast.
With more denominations than you can count, the church is more divided than ever. We reflect on Jesus' prayer for oneness in John 17, and consider how societal instincts to identify enemies contribute to further fractures. Election seasons and post-COVID tensions have only heightened these divides, but there are new approaches pastors can take to foster a more unified community.
Michael and I explore how to manage the dynamics at play while fostering a relationship with God that transcends fear.
We also take a deep look at recognizing authoritarian and narcissistic leadership within the church. Identifying traits such as the use of fear, the creation of in-groups and out-groups, and the suppression of dissent that can help pastors self-reflect and avoid these pitfalls. Michael shares valuable resources for further understanding, and we emphasize the importance of inclusivity and holistic spiritual formation. Additionally, we address the critical issue of burnout among ministry leaders, offering tools and advice for self-assessment and recovery. Don't become the "Crabby Pastor"—listen in for insights on maintaining healthy self-care practices and fostering a thriving church community.
