Episode 69: Navigating Frustrating Church Policies

Ministry Leaders Anonymous

We’ve all been there...It can so often feel like policies are set in place to appease lawyers and not conducive to the type of ministry Jesus did and calls us to do. But instead of finding ways around the policies, how can we advocate for good policies that both protect everyone involved and set up success for our ministry. Thanks to ALOB (http://a-lob.com/) for letting us use his song, Strong God (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/strong-god/1291068295?i=1291068305), from the album No Match for Love (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/no-match-for-love/1291068295)!
