Churches across America are being damaged by abusive and narcissistic pastors who avoid accountability and concentrate power in their own hands. In this video podcast, we discuss the warning signs of toxic church leadership and the profound harm these pastors inflict on congregations.
You’ll learn:
* The manipulative behaviors and control tactics used by dysfunctional pastors.
* The devastating effects of abusive leadership - declining attendance, loss of joy, staff turnover, and spiritual malaise.
* Why narcissistic pastors stay entrenched - lack of oversight, cults of personality, and bullying critics.
* How to confront toxic pastors - implementing accountability structures, addressing warning signs, training in ethics, protecting whistleblowers.
* When removal is necessary - laying the groundwork and having full denominational support.
This candid conversation deals with an often ignored problem plaguing churches across the country. We offer solutions to restore congregational health and renew the proper pastoral role. The courageous work of confronting dysfunction may be difficult but is essential for the mission of the church.
Watch now for an in-depth look at the problem of controlling and abusive church leadership and what faithful congregations can do about it.
