The Crisis Response Plan Every Missionary Needs with Phil Cooke
What do you do when everything falls apart on the field? When the team fractures, the funding dries up, or a decision you made starts unraveling in ways you never anticipated? What if the way you respond in the first few hours determines whether your ministry survives?
In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Phil Cooke, filmmaker, media producer, PhD in theology, and one of the most sought-after crisis communications experts in the Christian world. Phil has worked in over 70 countries, walked countless ministry leaders through their worst moments, and written the definitive guide for churches and ministries navigating crisis. Together they pull back the curtain on what missionaries are almost never prepared for, why cover-ups always cost more than the crisis itself, how to build guardrails before you need them, and what to do in the first critical hours when something goes wrong. This is not a theoretical conversation. This is a plan.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- How to spot red flags in your team and your own life before they become a crisis.
- Why how you communicate in the first hours matters more than the crisis itself.
- The two phone calls Phil says every missionary needs to make when a crisis hits.
