Recovering from Leaders Who Fail

Three words scare me. "God told me."

Why? Because those words began a life-changing, one-sided discussion from a person in a position of spiritual authority which devastated my heart.

I understand "church hurt" from experience.

How do we recover from leadership failures? We have examples in the Bible because leadership failure is nothing new. Continuing our dive into the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, we'll look at:

  • Living from a values mindset vs. an outcome approach
  • Why the core compass of truth is necessary to recover from and prevent leadership abuse
  • Speaking up until the situation changes
  • Distinguishing between individuals and institutions
  • Why rebuilding trust must follow behavior, not precede it
  • Resisting the desire for revenge
  • Choosing to let your response define you, not someone else's behavior
