Manage episode 435011301 series 2984880
In every pastor's ministry, there comes a time when they must walk through a transition and hand over leadership to the next generation. Is it possible for pastors and congregations to navigate these waters smoothly?
On today's episode of The Glass House, Ben and Lynley discuss succession planning with Bryant Wright and Clay Smith during the Southern Baptist Convention last summer. These two pastors share from their personal experiences and insights on how to navigate the transition from an outgoing pastor to a new leader. They emphasize the importance of starting the succession process early, having a clear plan, and considering the cultural fit of the new pastor. They also discuss the need for honoring the predecessor and maintaining a positive transition for the congregation. The conversation concludes with advice for pastors and church leaders who are considering a similar transition.
