Episode 55 - Feeling Like A Victim (Part 3) - What Safe Leadership Looks Like

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon continues the trilogy on victimhood, spiritual abuse, and safe leadership.

• Episode 53 explored the victim mentality—feeling like a victim when it’s not really abuse.
• Episode 54 addressed spiritual abuse—what it looks like and how it harms pastors and church members.
• And now, in Episode 55, Jon shares stories and reflections on safe leadership: how to recognize it, how to become it, and how to rebuild trust among God’s people.

Jon recalls the influence of his youth pastor, Bones, who modeled Christlike safety through presence, consistency, and love. He also shares a recent story from leading a family memorial service, where the Holy Spirit reminded him that safe leadership is not about performance but about pointing people to Jesus. Note: This episode was recorded while traveling, so you may hear some natural airport background noise during the recording. Safe leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about being trustworthy, humble, and consistent, just like Jesus.
