When to Keep Confidentiality with Church Members

It’s a tough word to say and requires wisdom to keep. We hear a lot about what we should and should not keep confidential. Today’s episode of Rainer on Leadership is packed full of great information for church leaders concerning the importance of confidentiality. 

* Always report abuse, no exceptions
* Be careful when someone makes you promise confidentiality before telling you something
* One mistake can cause a ripple effect with others
* Do not sacrifice confidence with one person to gain with a group of others
* Break confidence when you are concerned about the person's safety
* Keep confidence even when it may hurt your reputation

Resources mentioned in today's podcast:

* Radical Mentoring
* Church Future Indicator
* Free 30-day trial Church Answers Silver membership
