In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Rusty George, lead pastor of Real Life Church and author of Justice. Mercy. Humility. During their conversation, they discuss shepherding the people in a large church well and leading your church through a crisis.

BEST QUOTES

“We assumed once our church got over a certain size, we could no longer shepherd everybody, so then we decided we would shepherd nobody.”

“How do we create experiences that aren’t downloadable?”

“Everything in you, when a crisis happens like this, says, ‘tell no one.'”

“I sent an email to all of the local pastors in our community and told them what was going on.”

“I had no idea this tragedy was coming, but some of those verses are exactly what I needed to hear.”

“Have a clear finish line. I go home and turn off email, have family time, and read a book that has nothing to do with my job.”

“When you have a clear deadline there is automatic pressure to get stuff done if you can’t work on it after you leave at 5 p.m.”

“Ask everybody in your family on a Friday, “what’s a good Saturday look like?'”

“In this season, our girls get an equal say. They don’t always win, but they at least get to weigh in.”

“People are looking for hope, and we have it!”
