Description:
Rodney Shaw reflects on how ministry taught him that people often support change in theory but resist it when it becomes personal and practical. He explains that church members form deep emotional connections to traditions, systems, and experiences that shaped their spiritual journey, making change feel like loss. Shaw emphasizes that effective leadership requires empathy, patience, and a “follower-centric” mindset that prioritizes people over personal vision. He warns leaders against becoming “wrecking balls” and encourages pastors to carefully discern what truly needs to change versus what merely frustrates them personally.
