🚨 Leaders, let’s talk about it. Bitterness is the silent killer in leadership—and most people don’t even realize they’re carrying it.

👉 You say you’ve moved on, but you’re still keeping mental receipts.
👉 You say you’ve forgiven, but you still watch to see if they fail.
👉 You say you’re “just setting boundaries,” but really, you’ve built walls.

🔥 This episode is the gut check you didn’t know you needed.

We’re diving into:
✔️ How offense is sabotaging your leadership (and you don’t even see it).
✔️ The Joseph Test—what will you do when you have the power to get even?
✔️ The real reason you feel stuck (it’s not burnout—it’s bitterness).
✔️ Why waiting for an apology is keeping you in chains.
✔️ And most importantly—how to break free.

🚀 Because you can hold onto a grudge, or you can hold onto your calling—but you can’t do both.

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Second Chair Leaders Podcast, where we’re diving deep into a critical issue that’s tearing churches apart—disloyalty within church leadership. 🚨 Disloyalty isn’t just about open defiance; it often starts small, with unmet expectations, quiet frustrations, and passive disengagement that go unchecked. Over time, these layers of disloyalty build up, causing division, and ultimately, breaking down the unity of the church.

In Episode 6 of the Second-Chair Leadership Podcast, we dive headfirst into one of the biggest issues plaguing church leadership today—unhealed trauma. This isn’t just about burnout or tough days; this is about the deep, hidden wounds that leaders are ignoring, and how that’s wreaking havoc on their teams, their churches, and their mission. 🎯

💥 It’s time to stop pretending everything’s fine. If you’re a second-chair leader, you’re not just there to help with logistics—you’re in a unique position to spot the cracks before they break your church apart. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the toxic culture that forms when trauma goes unaddressed. We’re calling out the real consequences—disengagement, burnout, and worse—and how YOU can step in to prevent disaster. 🚨

✋ This episode is raw, real, and confrontational—if you’ve ever felt like the weight of ministry was crushing you, this is the conversation you need to be part of. We’re not holding back. We’re talking systems of accountability, transparency, and practical steps to prevent trauma from tearing your leadership team apart.
