In this episode of Church Leadership Podcast, John McGee is joined by Scott Kedersha to discuss how people-pleasing affects church leaders. Scott shares how his desire for approval led him to overwork and compromise his convictions, while John reflects on his struggle with criticism of his work. They discuss how to recognize what drives the need for approval, have difficult conversations, and find rest in what Jesus has already done.
