In the first episode of our new segment, Systems and Shifts, Rev. Jess Shults and Rev. Jeffrey Munroe talk about the challenges leaders face when their personal beliefs change, but their jobs and organizations expect them to stay the same.

They discuss why these internal conflicts happen and share advice on how to handle them wisely, especially when personal growth or changes in faith don’t match the values of the organization. Throughout their conversation, they talk about the difficulties of leading in Christian environments, where faith, change, and expectations often clash. Jeff also shares personal stories from his own ministry experiences to help others figure out how to manage changing beliefs while staying true to themselves and their organizations.

In this episode, Jess and Jeff discuss

  • Accepting how one’s beliefs naturally change throughout life
  • Discerning God’s will amidst layers of institutional values and perspectives 
  • Finding the balance between servant leadership and personal boundaries
