The Small Church Ministry Podcast 180: When Dysfunction Becomes the Culture—and No One Talks About It
Church should be a place of growth and healing—but too often, dysfunction gets disguised as “unity” or “God’s will.”
In this episode of our anniversary series, we’re naming the unhealthy systems churches cling to and calling for leadership that reflects Jesus’ heart.
We’ll talk about:
1. True unity vs. fear-based “togetherness”
2. The damage of avoiding hard conversations
3. How power imbalances keep people silent
4. Why dysfunction isn’t spiritual maturity
5. What it takes to build an emotionally healthy church culture
It’s time for small churches to lead with empathy, curiosity, and respect.
