Every leader faces criticism. In this episode Kevin and Thom talk about facing criticism and ways leaders can respond to criticism. Leaders will never be able to avoid criticism but they can overcome criticism.

Highlights:

  • Recognize the commonality of criticism
  • “Hurting people hurt people”
  • Love unconditionally
  • Spend time with positive people
  • Find members who will have your back
  • On some occasions, your critic is right
  • Revitalize & Replant is sponsored by the North American Mission Board and ChurchReplanters.com. More than 10% of churches in North America are at risk of closing and the North American Mission Board is committed to reversing this trend by decreasing the death rate of existing churches while simultaneously increasing the birth rate of new churches.
