Your Question:
How am I going to tell my family?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that being approachable and open to the truth is crucial in maintaining a healthy family and community. When it comes to sharing the truth with my family, I want to create a safe and non-judgmental space where they feel comfortable speaking their minds. I believe that as a leader, it's my responsibility to model this behavior and demonstrate that I can handle difficult conversations. To start this process, I would sit down with my wife Susan and our children Joshua and Rebecca, and explain that we want to create a culture of honesty and transparency within our family. I would encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings with us, and reassure them that we'll do our best to listen and respond with empathy. I would also remind them that we're not perfect, and that it's okay to make mistakes – it's how we learn and grow from them that matters. As a family, we would work together to develop a mission statement that reflects our values and goals. We would read it together daily, and use it as a guide for making decisions and evaluating our actions. Every January, we would take time to reflect on how we're living up to our mission statement, and make changes for the coming year. By doing so, we would cultivate a sense of accountability and responsibility, and work together to become the best version of ourselves.
