Leading Your Church Through a Leadership Transition

  1. Leading Your Church Through a Leadership Transition Keith Haney 30:34

In today's episode, we are going to talk about leading your church through a pastoral leadership change.  Jim Collins (the author of Good to Great” said You're going to die, retire, quit, or get fired. “You'll not pastor your church forever. Now, consider this, what will happen to your church after you are dead, retired, quit, or fired? The greatest hindrance to the ongoing success of an organization is the charismatic leader who founded it,” he continued.”
Transition is an inescapable part of leadership, but how you manage the transition is what is the most important. Over my 27 years of ministry, I experienced three major leadership transitions. Today my guest is Pastor Mark Brandt. Administrative Pastor St. Lorenz Lutheran Church Frankenmuth, MI. He is retiring at the end of 2020 and he shares with us Wisdom from his vast years of experience.
