In this episode, Lucas Pinckard of First Baptist Church Lake Dallas and Dr. Christopher J. Respass of Antioch Christian Fellowship of Corinth, TX dive deep into a real and recurring issue in ministry: how to handle a disgruntled church member.

Conflict in church leadership isn’t new — but understanding why a member is upset and how to respond with grace and wisdom is critical. This episode, titled “Getting to the Heart of the Issue,” explores what’s often going on beneath the surface of complaints. Spoiler alert: most of the time, the thing someone is mad about… isn’t really the thing they’re mad about.

In this deeply honest and theologically grounded episode of The Church Resource, hosts Lucas Pinckard of First Baptist Church Lake Dallas and Dr. Christopher J. Respass of Antioch Christian Fellowship of Corinth, TX tackle one of the most difficult questions facing pastors, church leaders, and believers today:

How should the church respond to major cultural events—especially tragic or polarizing ones like the assassination of Charlie Kirk?

With humility and wisdom drawn from decades of pastoral experience, they explore the spiritual and practical challenges of preaching through moments of national crisis, political upheaval, and cultural division. From shepherding a congregation with diverse perspectives to discerning what belongs in the pulpit versus what’s best left to private counseling or podcast commentary, Lucas and Chris dive into the hard questions—without offering easy answers.
