What really determines whether church leadership transitions strengthen a congregation – or strains it? Greg & Ryan are guests on the podcast The People Who Help People. In this podcast episode, they explore what separates healthy church leadership transitions from harmful ones.
You’ll hear real-world stories of churches navigating pastoral transitions, lessons from both successful and painful searches, and practical insight into why culture fit often matters more than credentials. The conversation also unpacks how clarity, consistent communication, and spiritual discernment work together to build durable leadership health.
If your church is planning to hire, preparing for succession, or simply working to build a healthier team culture, this episode is packed with practical wisdom you can use immediately.
