If an organization is going to grow in a healthy way, leaders must learn how to correctly address wrong attitudes and behaviors. They do this best when they use confrontation only as a means to restoration.

This is an audio portion of a video teaching I recently shared with my Patreon supporters. 

My supporters received the full teaching video and audio, along with some supporting resources. 

Would you consider supporting this teaching ministry for just $5 per month? My supporters get exclusive content that no one else receives, as well as early access to content that will eventually be shared publicly.
