A short spoken segment from a YouTube podcast about how leadership creates and sustains a culture of safety in group settings. The speaker emphasizes transparency and mutual support among staff, intentional confidentiality (not asking about church attendance), and how these practices help members feel safe during healing journeys.
Safety is really important to us. We don't expose who's in the groups, but it's quite obvious who goes into a group, although you don't know which group they're going into. So we try to make it very comfortable for everybody. We've obtained that culture of safety because of our leaders. And I wanted to say earlier that one of the things is there's a great level of transparency, men to men, women to women here. We have great honor here on our staff. We support each other, we give each other breaks, but there's great compassion among the staff. It starts right all the way at the top, and it makes a. A big difference. One of the things we do not ask where you go to church or if you can go to church when you join a group. Many of the groups, I never find that out. We don't ask that question. But I do see people showing up on Sunday mornings. They are coming because they feel it's a safe place, especially when he's receiving, healing. And she's still angry, you know, when she doesn't want to look at me or one of the leaders. It's a journey of safety.
