Do you have a head elder?

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — JerrieEvery eldership says it believes in shared leadership—until one man’s voice consistently ends the discussion.In this episode, Do You Have a Head Elder?, I name a dynamic most churches recognize but rarely confront: the leader of the leaders. Sometimes he’s kind and life-giving. Other times he’s controlling, wounded, or quietly corrosive—and the group helps him stay that way. If you’ve ever left a meeting knowing decisions were settled before discussion began, this episode may explain why—and what it would take to change it.
