Overview
Having our authority challenged disrupts the healthy dynamics of a ministry team. You may have experienced it in your role as executive pastor leading your church’s paid staff, or you may have felt the rub as a volunteer small group leader.
In the articles that follow, we’ll explore this theme more fully, starting with a look at how pastors handle people who challenge the authority of Scripture, which sometimes leads to an outright challenge of their authority as the leader in the church. You’ll also learn strategies for handling the conflict that ensues when your authority is challenged.
