Episode #2
Before You Assume: What Am I Missing?
How do we respond when what people think is happening differs from what is actually happening? In this episode of 2 Pastors 1 Calling , Fr. Brian and Pastor Chris explore perceptions, perspectives, opinions, and judgments—and how they shape our relationships. Through everyday examples and experiences in pastoral leadership, they discuss why we assume motives, how past experiences influence our reactions, and what it takes to understand another person’s perspective. They also reflect on making thoughtful decisions, communicating change, and addressing assumptions about pastors. The conversation invites us to ask questions before drawing conclusions, remain open to new information, and build trust through listening, honesty, and transparency. Understanding one another begins with recognizing that we may not have the whole story.
