In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff podcast, Todd Rhoades discusses how church leaders can navigate tensions arising from staff disagreements on cultural issues, such as immigration, communicated through social media. Todd outlines common traps, like pretending issues do not exist or enforcing false unity, and suggests a more constructive approach: acknowledging tensions without shaming, setting a collaborative tone, differentiating core mission from political opinions, and focusing on building trust within the team. • Staff disagreements on cultural issues can cause tension. • Avoid ignoring the issue or enforcing false unity. • Acknowledge tension without shaming. • Separate mission from political opinions. • Focus on building trust rather than political alignment.
