I listened to a podcast in which 5 Dallas Fort Worth area churches have had leadership failure leading to resignation just since June. The one thing that resonated in me was that as elders addressed their congregations this one phrase came up again and again: “moving forward”. It’s as if church leaders left behind are afraid to take a breath and sit in the rubble long enough for Yahweh to show them what is broken in the walls of the system that allowed men in pulpits to continue in sin for so long.
