People issues, especially people changes, can be incredibly divisive in a church.

Suddenly, a staff member people love is no longer on the platform, and nobody's really sure why.

Church leaders have had months to process the change, but the congregation and staff have to catch up in one conversation or announcement.

And they rarely sit in that gap of information neutrally … they fill it with a story that's not about the decision but about the church itself. 

We're wrapping up Too Big to Run on Relationships, our series on getting your structure right as a large church. And we saved the hardest conversation for last—how do you make structural and staffing changes without blowing up your church?

  • The Change Cycle
  • Sequencing communication in the right order 
  • Developing a communication plan and a care plan

This Episode is Sponsored by Tyndale House: 

If Jesus walked into your church right now, would people recognize him? We've created a personalized Savior who exists primarily to meet our needs, bless our lives, and guarantee our spots in heaven.

But here's the problem. That Jesus would be unrecognizable.

In the book The Missing Messiah, bestselling authors Kyle Idleman and Mark More will help your church rediscover the Jesus based on Scripture, not on culture. Plus, check out the six-session companion study guide with free access to streaming videos. Learn more at missingmessiah.com.
