درباره این اپیزود
Is the fear of damaging a relationship stopping you from having a difficult conversation? I’ve been there, and I know how isolating that tension can feel. But here is the truth: wounds from a friend can be trusted, and real growth only happens when we’re willing to go there.
In this episode, Amy and I are pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead, mentor, and disciple in the messy reality of ministry. We’re talking about the "relational collateral" required to speak truth into someone’s life and how to correct in love without crushing their spirit. Whether you’re navigating past trauma that’s showing up in your leadership or learning how to handle a tough sermon critique, this conversation is for you. It’s time we stop settling for surface-level peace and start pursuing the spiritual maturity that comes through honest, grace-filled accountability.
