What Makes A Healthy Church?

Brody kicks off this episode by celebrating the 250th episode of No Sanity Required and reflecting on the growth of the podcast. He expresses gratitude for the support and listeners who’ve been part of the journey.

In this episode, Brody answers questions from Blake, a former SWO staffer and avid NSR listener, about church leadership. Sparked by a recent episode, Blake asks about some pastoral models within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and how they compare to biblical principles of church structure. Brody discusses the importance of pastors staying long-term at a church and why leadership should focus on a team of elders, not just one “CEO” pastor. He also shares wisdom from 1 Timothy 5 on how churches should support, protect, and care for their leaders.

Brody wraps up with exciting updates on new cabins and projects at Snowbird. Tune in for an insightful conversation about church leadership, pastoral integrity, and how we can build healthier churches.
