The Glass House
Ministry Leaders and their families live in a “glass house”—an environment where they are left vulnerable to the stress of ministry, the criticism of others, and feel the spotlight on their personal weaknesses. Lifeway's "The Glass House" is a space where ministry leaders will shed light on the challenges they often don't feel permission to talk about. Listeners who work in the trenches of church life will feel seen and gain tools to navigate ministry and life. Those who live outside this "glass house" will better understand what it's like to dwell there. Join Ben and Lynley Mandrell for these shockingly confessional—yet redemptive—conversations.

134. Overcoming Guilt and Leading with Confidence with Paige Green
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As ministry leaders, how often do we carry guilt that God never intended for us to bear? In this episode, Ben and Lynley Mandrell invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with guilt and forgiveness.
Joined by Paige Greene, they dive into the complex emotions surrounding guilt—unpacking the difference between appropriate and inappropriate guilt—and how it impacts relationships at home, in ministry, and in leadership. Together, they explore the necessity of setting healthy boundaries, embracing self-awareness, and rejecting guilt that isn’t warranted. Paige offers practical insights on having hard conversations, navigating communication with difficult personalities (including narcissism in leadership), and the power of a sincere apology. She also encourages ministry leaders to recognize the difference between guilt and fear, and to seek help when needed to maintain emotional and spiritual health.
This conversation will empower you to lead from a place of freedom and grace rather than guilt and fear.
Join us as we explore how to navigate guilt and forgiveness in a way that fosters healthier relationships, stronger leadership, and deeper personal growth.
