The Small Church Ministry Podcast 190: Grace, Bullies, & Boundaries: How To Stay In The Conversation
If you listened to Episode 189, you know we tackled the hard truth about what happens when grace gets twisted into protecting bullies in the church.
This episode stands on its own — but it’s also a continuation of that conversation.
We’re getting real about how to handle church conflict in a healthy, biblical way … and why the space between ignoring bad behavior and asking someone to leave matters so much.
Here’s what’s inside:
- The “in-between” - why it matters and how to live there without losing your mind.
- How to deal with bullies in church - with empathy, truth, and boundaries.
- Speaking softly, holding your ground, and still loving people well.
- The behavior that’s never okay in church (and how to call it out with kindness).
- When to keep working toward repair … and when to walk away in peace.
Because healthy churches aren’t built by people who avoid hard conversations. They’re built by people who love deeply, speak truth gently, and trust that God still has more for His church.
