This reminds me of the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s “Now That We Don’t Talk”

I see this happen a lot: the privileging of opinions of people in paid positions over the contributions of subject matter experts or people with lived experience. It’s killing ministries by driving away experts who could offer effective help.
