In this episode of Faith Stewardship and Insurance: Protecting Texas Churches, host Ron Wadley discusses the critical role of pastoral liability insurance for church leaders. Highlighting a case from Waco, the episode explains how general liability insurance does not cover the risks associated with pastoral counseling. Ron emphasizes the need for specialized pastoral liability coverage. Wadley explains the protections offered by this insurance, its importance in safeguarding against financial and reputational damage, and the necessity of confirming specific coverages like sexual misconduct. Listeners are encouraged to evaluate their current insurance policies and seek additional resources for comprehensive protection.
