What Do You Do When People Leave the Church?

Episode 16
In all my years in pastoral ministry, I only tried to talk a couple into staying one time — and I regretted it.
In this episode of Pastor’s Leadership Podcast, I share a few ways that have helped me handle leaving church members that I’m sure can help you, too.
Listen in and I’ll dive deeper into each of these points:
- Track trends and involvement.
- Tread lightly but find out why they’re leaving (or have already left) with an honest conversation.
- Talk to others to get honest feedback about your ministry.
- Trust God’s providence.
- Take the high road — don’t burn bridges.
- Treat it as a learning experience.
