How to Lead in This Cultural Moment

Last week was sobering. Between heartbreaking acts of violence, the anniversary of 9/11, and the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, many pastors and church leaders found themselves asking: How do I shepherd my people in moments like this?

In this episode of the Church Leadership Podcast, John McGee and Dave Bruskas sit down for a candid, impromptu conversation. They reflect on how leaders can:

• Lead with a biblical worldview
• Help their people process and see the hope of Christ
• Steward when people are walking into church for the first time
