how a pastor kills a church

it’s not about teachings or doctrines per se, it’s about what shows up in relationships (or absence thereof): “As churches and their pastors continue to grow together, it is not the pastor’s lack of continuing education or lack of freshness in preaching that stifles the church’s growth… but it is cracks and flaws in the pastor’s character that he refuses to recognize and acknowledge that eventually kills the church…” Bill Lawrence (DTS)
