1. Have you ever thought you were too old to start something new?
2. What if your greatest joy in life was hiding behind something you’ve always said you “don’t like to do”?
3. How can a seventy-year-old who once dreaded writing end up publishing books, blogs, and now podcasts?
4. Is it ever too late to discover a new passion — or could your next chapter be your best one yet?

This is the second in a series of two episodes on gossip and conflict. If you haven't heard episode 76, start there.

Have you ever wondered why gossip spreads so easily—and why it’s so hard to stop once it starts?

What if the key to ending conflict in your church, family, or workplace is as simple as refusing to add one more stick of wood to the fire?

Imagine what could happen if every believer took a personal stand to be vaccinated against the gossip virus—starting with you and me.

Should every Christian and every church get vaccinated for the conflict virus?

The virus I’m talking about doesn’t attack the body—it infects relationships.

It spreads quietly, destroys trust, and divides churches.

Its name? Gossip.

Most of us avoid talking about death—or about leaving a ministry—until we’re forced to. But what if preparing for both could bring peace instead of panic?

In this episode, I’ll share lessons from planning my own funeral and my own exit from full-time preaching—practical ways preachers and elders can prepare for the next chapter.

Moving to a new church and getting a new preacher is an exciting time. Many are convinced this’ll solve all the problems they've ever had, and everyone will live happily ever after.

• What if your “new” preacher—or your “new” church—comes with more miles and hidden dents than you realize?
• Do you know where to get a reliable “PREACHERFAX” or “CHURCHFAX” before making a move?
• How can you tell the difference between normal wear-and-tear and severe damage that’ll break down later?
• Is it wiser to trade for something “new,” or repair and restore the preacher or church you already have?
• When Paul says we are new creations in Christ, how does that truth reshape the way we look at used preachers and used churches?

I say I want the church to grow—but often what I mean is only with people like me.

Jesus said His kingdom would start small and grow beyond expectation, yet when growth brings people who unsettle me, I face the the difference between what I want and what God wants.

The real question is: Do I want the church to grow, or just to grow my way?
