Church Disrupted

042: CEO Pastors VS Shepherds, Scandals, and a Church Worth Fighting For


Listen Later

In this episode of the Church Disrupted Podcast, Jeff Cochran interviews Casanova Green, a local church pastor, about his observations on the church and the importance of having critical conversations with church leaders to promote growth and transparency. They also highlight the issue of churches moving away from the core principles of community, support, and relational ministry; and the rise of narcissistic leaders and performance-based preaching.

The conversation also touches on the recent scandals involving church leaders and the need for accountability and justice in the church. Jeff and Cas discuss the importance of transparency, checks and balances, and the role of overseers in ensuring accountability. They emphasize the need for pastors to be present, sacrificial, and focused on loving and serving people.
Whether you are a parishioner, church staff, or someone dealing with fresh church hurt, this conversation should both encourage and challenge you in a positive way!
