Leading with Compassion: How Faith, Culture, and Recovery Shape Great Leaders with Scott Rodgers

What does it look like to lead people who are broken, hurting, and rebuilding their lives — and what can every leader learn from that?

In this episode of Keep the Change, Bart sits down with his longtime friend Scott Rodgers — pastor, author, and leader — for a conversation about leading with compassion, building culture in ministry, and what it really means to treat people the way they want to be treated.

Scott shares how he's leading a thriving Celebrate Recovery ministry and the leadership principles that apply whether you're running a business, a team, or a church.

• Why leading volunteers is one of the hardest — and most rewarding — leadership challenges

• The difference between the Golden Rule and the Platinum Rule (and why it changes everything)

• How compassion, mercy, and grace aren't soft skills — they're leadership essentials

• Why knowing someone's story is the key to leading them well

• Don't be that boss — what great leadership actually looks like in practice
