- Christianity
We never know when a crisis may strike our church or community, so the question is: are we prepared to lead our church through that crisis? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Rusty George. Rusty is the lead pastor of Real Life Church, a multisite church with campuses throughout Southern California. Real Life Church is making a great kingdom impact, but they've also had their share of crises, including the suicide of a staff pastor and a school shooting in their community. Rusty shares some of the lessons that he has learned and some of the things that he wishes he would have known before they experienced crisis. Together, Rusty and Jason discuss some of the ways that we can minister in the midst of crisis.

Some key takeaways from this episode:
Rusty George on the reality of crisis in the contemporary Church: "Certainly with the anxiety and depression levels the way they are today, crisis is just a matter of time, and unfortunately, for a lot of us, we don't think about it until we're in it."
Rusty George on feeling alone during a crisis: "Out of all the highs and lows in ministry, one of the toughest things was the people I thought would walk with me through it, some of them didn't. And when you have that happen, that really makes you feel alone."
Rusty George on the redemptive power of God: "We have a perfect Father, and He loves us, and He will redeem all things. Everything does not happen for a “reason” but everything can be redeemed."
