Well, in our last episode, we had a question come in from Taylor Persello, and this week she joins her pastor, Joshua Bingle, for our conversation!

He is the pastor of Genesis Church in Spokane, Washington, and is no stranger at all to this space. I love the way he thinks, and he is always one of the first places I go to bounce ideas off. Taylor is a member of the team at Genesis and is involved in so much behind the scenes here with Leading Second, from creating content to helping us stay organized. We are so blessed to have these two incredible people in our tribe.

The main question we want to ask them today is this: What impact does my personal health have on my relationship with my pastor?

In almost all of our relationships, in church or otherwise, we WILL experience hurts and offenses. When that happens, there’s likely a secret contract or unspoken expectation that is at the root of it. This idea of secret contracts is something that Josh and Taylor introduced to me and has shifted how I think about so many relationships. So I wanted them to unpack that here for all of us.

A couple of the questions that we cover in this episode are:

What is a secret contract, and where do they come from?

How do we know if we’re holding someone to a contract they didn’t know about?

What are some examples of secret contracts?

We end things off by talking about what healthy contracts look like.

I pray that this episode shifts some hearts and reaches people who can get a hold of this idea because I believe it can be so powerful if recognized.

What are some secret contracts that you hold others to?

Are there any that you need to rethink or rewrite?
