Something’s Not Right—Matthew 18 & Dealing with Conflicts

Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health…and sometimes the lackthereof. In this episode, they ponder questions like: Can the congregation help reform an unhealthy church leadership? Should pastors view themselves as the “CEO”? 

 

 What about Matthew 18 and dealing with conflict? What is a better way of understanding this often-abused passage?

 

This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.
