Why and When People Leave Your Church

In this episode, Doc Murphy encourages pastors and leaders to find peace in the reality that people will leave your church—and sometimes, that's not a bad thing. Not everyone leaves because of offense, drama, or disagreement. Some leave because they move to another city, or simply because they weren’t meant to stay.

Doc breaks down the various reasons people leave and how to discern what’s healthy and what’s harmful. More importantly, he teaches you how to keep your focus on those who are still with you. Stop taking it personal. Stop letting it distract you. Your assignment is to disciple the present, not mourn the absent.
