Pastors, elders, and people who are involved closely with church decisions have to make some tough ones. Regularly. Sometimes a congregant needs discipline, sometimes an employee isn’t working out. It’s got to be a hard place to be, and it probably happens more than one might think.This section is for people who have had to make those decisions that have left people spinning. Please tell your side of the story. What led to the decision that left the other party feel angry, hurt, betrayed? How did you prepare for the hard moment of letting them know? Did you do anything you regret? Do you feel like you did anything wrong? Also, what do you feel that you did well? Judging by how the other party reacted, what might you have done differently?
IMPORTANT: Where did you see God in the process?
