Good Leadership Requires Good Character:S7E3
Welcome to the Unlovely Truth. I'm your host church safety advocate and coach Lori Morrison. Our churches need to be the safest places in our communities, so my mission on this podcast is to give you actionable steps to make your house of worship a true sanctuary in your community. Let’s investigate the unlovely truth about real crime stories happening in real churches. I've got three cases to explore today, so let's dive right in.
Important points from this episode include:
- Church and Professional Sports Working Together, But Not for Good
- Hall of Famer Might Also Be Hall of Shamer
- FCA Staffer Involved in SCAM
Titus 2:7-8 NIrV
In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who
oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
That sounds simple but not easy, right? The book of Titus has great lessons in leadership, the importance of sound doctrine, and how the Gospel should inspire us to do good to others. All of that was completely lacking in today’s stories, yet each was about people who traded on their reputations, on the fact that people trusted them, to use and abuse people. Anybody can talk the talk but we have to check our leaders to see if they are truly walking the walk.
