In Session 4, Dave and Corrina are getting real about the “dirty work” of ministry. We all love the idea of Christian community until the reality of people gets messy.
In this episode, we tackle what happens when church community fractures, how leaders get caught in the crossfire of “worship wars,” and how to navigate serving in a ministry that doesn’t align with your personal philosophy of worship. Dave shares some raw, personal reflections on times he let his own preferences cloud his judgment, and provides a powerful, three-step blueprint for moving toward reconciliation when a team is divided. It all boils down to a hard, Stanley-inspired truth: for reconciliation to take place, someone has to die to their ego. Pull up a chair for a deep, authentic conversation on stepping into the role of a servant, practicing preference for others, and reflecting the beautiful, unified dance (perichoresis) of the Trinity.
