In this episode, Ben and John Paul discuss 7 ways to kill your credibility. More than likely you have never tried to kill your credibility but not taking these seven ways seriously will kill your credibility without you even knowing it.
Show Notes and Quotes:
Asking for forgiveness instead of permission is not a smart approach to your ministry. There are enough places for ministry to get sideways without you creating an opportunity for it, so just don’t.
Constantly changing plans a communicating last minute gives people ministry whiplash and leaves people not wanting to follow you. It creates an environment where what you say may not actually be what happens.
