People ALWAYS Leave (and That’s Okay) | Ep 06
Seasons change, and often with them, staff. Every leader will face moments when a team member’s grace for a season lifts — not as a sign of failure, but as part of God’s plan.
In this episode, Scott, Hunter, and Mark unpack how to recognize when grace has lifted, why obedience is greater than staying, and how to send people into their next season with gratitude and grace.
