The Risk Management Conversation Your Staff Isn't Having
Jan 20, 2026 Episode 532
This episode of the Healthy Church Staff podcast addresses the prevalent issue of 'risk allergy' in church planning meetings, where fear of worst-case scenarios prevents innovation and new ideas. The host encourages church leaders to reframe their thinking, asking constructive questions aimed at fostering innovation and faith-driven ministries instead of defaulting to fear-based decisions. The challenge is set for church teams to revive previously dismissed ideas and allow them space to grow so the ministry can evolve and better serve its community.• Discussion on risk allergy in church planning and its impact on innovation.• Fear of failure prevents new ideas from being pursued.• Encourage reframing questions to focus on possibilities rather than limitations.• Challenge to resurrect a previously discarded ministry idea.• Emphasis on faith-driven rather than risk-free ministry.• Announcement about upcoming Healthy Church Staff assessment report.
