74 - Disagreeing with Elders
How do we navigate disagreement with church leadership while maintaining respect and unity? This thought-provoking episode tackles the delicate balance of honoring elders while addressing legitimate concerns.
We begin by examining our fundamental relationship with elders. Rather than waiting for them to reach out, we explore how members can take initiative in building meaningful connections through prayer, gratitude, and genuine interest in their lives as fellow Christians. These established relationships create the foundation for healthier communication when differences arise.
Whether you're currently navigating a challenging situation with church leadership or simply want to develop healthier patterns of interaction, this episode offers practical wisdom for approaching differences in ways that strengthen rather than divide the body of Christ. How might your congregation grow stronger if disagreements became opportunities for understanding rather than division?
