John Larson on how Church of the Highlands defines ministry culture, changing unhealthy culture and resolving conflict

Practical Worship Podcast

Every ministry has a culture—how people describe the ministry and what it’s like to be a part of it—and leaders shouldn’t just take a passive approach to the culture of their worship ministry and assume it will all work itself out. John Larson is the worship pastor of Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, Alabama where they are intentional about the ministry culture of their worship and arts department. In this conversation, John talks about how they define the culture at Highlands, the responsibility of the leader to protect good culture and what to do when culture is unhealthy or there’s conflict among the team that needs to be resolved.
