I remember being a young bishop and having a member of my ward tell me they don't believe as they used to and they have begun to question their faith.

The hardest part of these scenarios was that it felt like they were looking to me for answers,

when in reality they were coming to me looking for support and hope.

These leadership scenarios can quickly remind you how unprepared you might be to minister to individuals or loved ones in your life who have begun to question their faith.

This is why leading Saints created the questioning Saints library

where we interviewed over 20 experts with the intent to better understand how we can

help individuals who are starting to question their faith.

For all the details on how you can access the questioning Saints library, text the word lead

to 4747, or visit leading Saints.org

slash questioning.

Again, text the word L-E-A-D to 4-7-7 or visit leading Saints

dot org slash questioning.

One of the most often asked questions that I receive at leading Saints

is in the context of how do I deal with a difficult leader or how do I deal with bureaucracy of church leadership. It's so difficult when I'm trying to make a difference but I just keep getting pushed down by the leadership above me or the bureaucracy above me.

How do we deal with that?

Well that's what we're going to discuss in this episode.

My name is Kurt Frankham.

I am the host of the Leading Saints podcast and if you're new to leading Saints

we are a nonprofit organization dedicated helping Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

And we do that through various methods, one of those being this podcast, which is one of the more popular venues where people come listen to leadership thought and hopefully gives you more to think on.

And also we have our website at leading Saints.org

which has thousands of articles and different resources on there.
