Pastors don't always leave because they lost their calling. Sometimes unhealthy church culture wears them down. Secrecy, favoritism, fear, and resistance to accountability can damage everyone. Which unhealthy pattern have you seen cause the most harm?

#ChurchCulture #ChurchAccountability #MCD

Biblical authority is not blind obedience.

Healthy leaders don't fear transparency.
