Do you have a head elder?

About this episode

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie

Every eldership says it believes in shared leadership—until one man’s voice consistently ends the discussion.

In this episode, Do You Have a Head Elder?, I name a dynamic most churches recognize but rarely confront: the leader of the leaders. 

Sometimes he’s kind and life-giving. 

Other times he’s controlling, wounded, or quietly corrosive—and the group helps him stay that way. 

If you’ve ever left a meeting knowing decisions were settled before discussion began, this episode may explain why—and what it would take to change it.
