Church Confidential

In the final part of Pastor Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Daniel Borvan’s conversation on church leadership, the two tackle confidentiality, gossip and the truth. They discuss their obligation to be fair and truthful when it comes to personal matters with the congregation. They talk extensively about the role of a pastor’s wife and acknowledge just how challenging it can be. They discuss boundaries that must be established and why confidentiality is always in place to not just protect the congregation, but their wives as well. Pastor Gordon talks about the sometimes tricky art of keeping a “healthy distance” in order to be an effective and Godly leader. They lean on the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to find the balance necessary to share the Gospel and guidee their flock.
