Episode 86 – Confrontation Isn’t a Negative w/ Pastor Carolyn Haas

Listen Later

Episode 86: a conversation with author, speaker, and Pastor Carolyn Haas and BTG Podcast host, Mykelti Blum. Pastor Carolyn was a featured speaker at Thrive 2024 (watch Workshop ONE and Main Session FOUR), where this episode was recorded. You will first hear about Thrive and Pastor Carolyn’s home church, Substance. Then the conversation turns practical to the topic of dealing with confrontation. Pastor Carolyn invites us to look at confrontation biblically, to consider the people with whom we are having conflict, the role of humility and prayer in confrontation, and much more. This is an area of life that is normal and human, and Pastor Carolyn shares openly about how her own church works to create an environment of openness so conflicts don’t fester.
