Change/loss equation

Every so often, change has to happen. Change is a good thing. Either you need to get back on track or you're heading in a new direction.

But in doing so you need to juggle the change/loss equation.

Are you prepared to ruffle feathers for the greater good?
Are you willing to have dozens of conversations with people to explain the direction you want to go?
Are you willing to let an under-performing ministry die so you could move forward, even if some hold fond memories of the program?
Even though it's not ideal, would you be willing for people to leave your church because of the change you are making?

Put simply... What or how much are you willing to lose to see your change come about?
