In this episode of Between Sundays, we dive into a hard-hitting but hope-filled conversation about the subtle signals that may be indicating your church is heading in the wrong direction. Borrowing from the imagery of dangerous intersections and the rising fatalities from running red lights, we identify seven leadership and cultural red flags that leaders must not ignore.

From the erosion of leadership confidence and mission drift to cultural misalignment and the haunting silence of an empty kids’ ministry, we explore how to spot these signs early—and what to do about them. Whether you’re leading a large team or serving in a small congregation, this episode will challenge, encourage, and equip you to hit the brakes, reassess, and realign with God’s call
