When the Leaders We Love Fail Us
About this episode
The episode discusses the heartbreak and disorientation that comes from leadership failures, featuring a conversation with Lisa Fields about navigating grief and admiration in the context of betrayal.
From public scandals to private betrayals that never make the news, experiencing the failure of a leader is both heartbreaking and disorienting. When someone leads a church community or is esteemed as a hero, the fallout of their failure is felt even more. Lisa Fields joins Jackie and Preston for an honest conversation about leadership betrayal. They discuss what healthy admiration looks like, how to navigate the grief of failed leadership without becoming cynical, and why restoration doesn't always mean a return to the platform.
