Kalos Conversations

In this episode, we work another case study.Someone who has been at the church for 5 years suddenly stops attending. You find out through the grapevine that their reasons are two-fold: 1, they were hurt that no one but a pastor from the church came to a recent family funeral. 2, they’ve been disillusioned with the trajectory of the church ministry for the last year and just want to go to another church. You have personally poured countless hours into their lives and the lives of their children. They did not say thank you. They did not address their grievances. They did not say “I was hurt.” They just left. You have reached out once for a conversation but they ignored your request. It seems they just want to be left alone and not have to deal with anything.- How would you help to resolve this conflict?
