Leading through Hot-button Issues in Ministry - Jimmy Dodd - 16 FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

In the world in which we live, there are so many external crises and policies and issues that people get really passionate about. The challenge for us as ministry leaders is, how do we address these issues in a way in which we do not contribute to the divisiveness, nor do we come across as being dismissive. In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Jimmy Dodd, the founder of PastorServe, as they look at practical ways to address these hot button issues in a way that keeps us from becoming distracted from the heart and the hope of Jesus and His gospel.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Jimmy Dodd on having a global perspective: "There are three things that the majority of the world does not have. If you have these three things, you're rich....If you have choices every day, you're rich....If you just have basic privacy, if there is a place where you can go to be alone, you're rich. Most of the world does not have a place to go just to be alone....And then third, if you just have basic opportunity, you're rich."

Jimmy Dodd on our response to the recent Roe v Wade decision: "It's great, I think, if you have joy over the big decision and such, but you have to make sure that your joy is dwarfed by your passion to care for those who will be most impacted by this”

Jimmy Dodd on stepping up and serving in a post-Roe v Wade world: "You have to find some place to help and serve.... CarePortal.org is a great place to go to be involved in foster care, because it's a way for you to practically meet foster care needs, because there are needs everywhere.... So if you think, 'well, I probably can't take in a foster kid, but I could buy a bed for a foster kid.' Okay, that's a great way to do it."
