David Fletcher and Brad Leeper began a video dialogue regarding giving, money, leadership, culture and many other important topics that fall on the shoulders of the Executive Pastor in a church. In Part One of this series, we will answer questions like: “My pastor does not want to talk about money but part of my job is to help resource the church. How do I work effectively as an Executive Pastor when my pastor is disengaged from the process?” and “I’m the Executive Pastor at my church and know how to manage expenses but should my role be in expanding giving for our church?”
