The Bridgecast

The Evangelical Church community has been plagued by sexual abuse scandals at an alarming rate. The impact of this is both wide reaching and deeply personal. Join us as we explore this topic together.

Politics and faith are deeply polarizing in our culture right now. Join us as we discuss how the impact this is having today.

When leadership is impossible, what do you do? Even when it feels impossible, you aren't alone. Others have been here before and we can learn from their legacy. Listen in as we talk about leading when leadership is impossible.

Sometimes it feels like leadership isn't hard. We're used to hard. We like hard and are willing to give it our all. But sometimes leadership isn't just, it is impossible. With every part of our culture pulling apart at the seems, leadership can just be ... well, possible? Join us for the first part of this great conversation! 

Sometimes it becomes necessary to wrestle with God, our faith, and maybe ourselves. Usually, when we wrestle down our faith, it changes and we no longer "fit" the mold. Then what? Take a listen!

During this really fun conversation we go a little bit deeper and talk about moving away from having all the right answers and making space for real doubt in order to build healthy certainty. Listen in!

We certainly live in trying and uncertain times. But so did the first-century church. Is our constant quest for certainty and security a sin? How should we live when very little feels safe?

When in a place we aren't appreciated, or even in a place where we are being mistreated in ministry, how do we know if we should stay or go? Is there a difference between suffering for the kingdom and being abused? Take a listen!

Leading from the middles requires a bit of humility, a deep sense of calling and a big dose of courage. But... what about women in ministry who often are in middle leadership roles because of tradition or theological issues? Leading from the middle for woment can often come with its own set of challenges. Listen in!

Most leaders, really really great leaders, do not lead from the top of an organizational chart. Most of us lead from the middle - that place where there are people above us and people below us organizationally. What does it mean to lead well from this place and how do we know when it is time to "lead up?"
