Bullies. We all encounter them on the playground, but what happens when you encounter them not just in your church, but in the pulpit of your church?

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church. I'm Julie Roy's.

And joining me today to talk about bullies in the pulpit is Paul Cochlin,

an expert on bullying and a best-selling author and speaker. Contrary to popular opinion,

Paul says bullies aren't typically wounded people who are seeking to ease their pain. They're

prideful predators with contempt for others, and the only way to stop them is for bystanders

to courageously take a

stand. Paul has tons of practical insights for tackling the problem of bullying by pastors,

and I can't wait to speak with them. But first, I'd like to thank the sponsors of this podcast,

Judson University and Markort of Barrington. Judson University is a top-ranked Christian University providing a

caring community and an excellent college experience. Plus, the school offers more than 60 majors,

great leadership opportunities, and strong financial aid. Judson University is shaping lives that

shape the world. For more information, just go to judsonu.edu.

Also, if you're looking for a quality new or used car, I highly recommend my friends at

Markort of Barrington. Markort is a Buick GMC dealership where you can expect honesty, integrity,

and transparency. That's because the owners there, Dan and Kurt Markort,

are men of character. To check them out, just go to buy a car, one, two, three, dot com.

Well, again, joining me today is Paul Cochlin, an expert regarding bullying, and a best-selling

author and speaker. Paul's books include No More

Christian Nice Guy, Free Us from Bullying, and No More Jellyfish, Chickens or Wimps. Paul has appeared

on Good Morning America, Nightline, Fox News, C-SPAN, and I'm so thrilled to have him today on The Roy's Report.

So Paul, welcome such a privilege to have you.
