On today’s episode of Revitalize and Replant we discuss the difficult topic of how to address moral failure of a church leader. Thom and Kevin Ezell break down five ways to deal with the unfortunate circumstance.
- Be transparent with limits.
- Protect the transgressor’s family.
- Show grace with discipline.
- Be prepared to provide pastoral care to the congregation.
- Be as generous as possible financially.
