Michael MacKenzie on When Pastors Fall, the Brokenness Leaders Experience, and Restoration
Summary
There is a sad reality in our culture. We see high-profile leaders fall into scandal and moral failures all too often. Unfortunately, this kind of news is not exclusive to the world outside of the church. Pastors and other Christian leaders are frequently in the headlines as the new subject in an ongoing thread of compromised integrities and broken ministries. My guest on today’s show has written a book to try to help leaders from ending up in that storyline. His name is Michael MacKenzie and his book is titled Don’t Blow Up Your Ministry: Defuse the Underlying Issues That Take Pastors Down. Whether you are a ministry leader or you’re someone who cares about a ministry leader in your life, what Michael has to share is important for all of us.
