Our lead pastors are not our cheerleader, they’re our coach. In this episode, we are joined by Layne Schranz, Executive Pastor under the leadership of Pastor Chris Hodges at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL, for a passionate discussion on building a healthy relationship with your pastor and growing as a leader. The relationship between a lead pastor and someone who leads in the second chair takes work, and requires us to remain teachable no matter our talent. It’s pivotal as we lead in the second chair that we posture ourselves to always be coachable, and to learn how to receive correction and feedback well.
