Power and Wise Boundaries: What Church Leaders Must Learn

Take your team through the Emotionally Healthy Leader Book. Download the FREE discussion guide: Let’s get honest. Power makes most of us uncomfortable. So we avoid it, minimize it, or misuse it. In this episode, Pete Scazzero shares a defining leadership failure—one that cost him deeply: relationships, trust, and a 20-year community. At the center of it? Unclear boundaries and dual relationships. You’ll discover: Why every leader must name and steward their power The danger of trying to be both a friend and a supervisor How blurred roles quietly damage teams and culture Why the burden of boundaries always falls on the leader What it means to do the inner work required for healthy leadership This is not about leadership theory. It’s about formation. Because if you don’t deal with power and boundaries, they will deal with you. Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.
