Episode 149: Performance Reviews

Standard

Scott’s weird story about a friend’s performance review spawned a conversation about how the church practices doing a performance review with church leaders.  Are they necessary?  If so, what are the foundation and the purpose of doing these reviews and who should be doing them?  Scott and Micah discuss these questions in hopes to help church leaders assess how these reviews may be helpful or harmful to the church staff and body at large.

Episode 146: Contracts, NDAs, & Cease and Desist Documents

Standard

In this episode, Scott and Micah look at the different documentation churches use for their staff and members.  We address Contracts, “covenants”, NDAs, and Cease and Desist letters and debate if these documents do anything to advance the Kingdom of God or fracture it.

The Deconstruction Faith Series: Episode 10 – Emily Haynes

Standard

Emily’s church experience has been different from the rest of our guests.  Being involved in church, gave exposure to some of the hypocrisy that she witness in church leadership, as well as questioning the strong emotional output and if that is the Spirit, or just our neuropathways firing off.  

Join us as we hear Emily’s story of her church experiences and why she thinks sometimes the church can act more like a cult, than a biblical church.  If you have any questions or comments on this episode, please send us a message over at thescottstedman.com
