QUOTES FROM EPISODE 14

“If you trust one another you are going to be able to have hard conversations, and hard conversations are just part of the journey.”

“The lead pastor and the executive pastor both have to assume the best.”

“You can’t work in isolation. You have to be able to work together and have a level of collaboration.”

“It’s good to know what the long term plan is for that number two guy.”

“From a really practical perspective, whether it is a volunteer or a staff person, it is so critical for the lead pastor and this person in the number two role to have really clear boundaries about what is in whose job description.”
