Rankin Wilbourne: How Fear of Conflict Erodes Trust in a Congregation | 2/8/2025 | West Church, Haverhill, MA

What this episode covers

How does your church handle conflict? How does your community “do” vulnerability? Conflict is messy and awkward, but it can be especially difficult for churches and church leadership teams for a number of reasons. When we choose less direct ways to get around conflict, our desire to keep the peace can sabotage the healthy culture of trust that we crave. How do vulnerability, trust, and conflict relate to each other? How can you cultivate the spirit that will be essential for your church’s long-term health and your personal resilience in ministry?
