161. The Mental Health Of Pastors Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

#161 - Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout is at an all time high in pastors and ministries leaders. From top to bottom, more and more ministry leaders feel unable to process their thoughts and emotions due to the fact that they lead in the church. Processing a difficult conversation amongst friends about your boss as a bank teller is different than if you’re a pastor. Many ministry leaders feel like there simply isn’t an opportunity or safe place for them to process - because we’re the ones who are “supposed to have it all figured out,” right? That’s simply not the case. And in today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our good friend and pastoral counselor, Kent Schornack, and talk about the realities, and importance, off ministry leaders having a counselor they trust - and the potential dangers of putting it off.

160. Pastor Your Volunteers Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

#160 - The battle of people vs programming has been ongoing within the ministry world for years. As ministry leaders, we obviously love and care for the people serving within our ministries, however, at the same time, Sunday is always coming and we have programs to run and slots to fill. So, what’s the solution? How do we love, honor, and do life with the people we serve with in our ministries while also running effective programming? On today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our good friend Ryan Frank and talk about how we can pastor our volunteers, and avoid the easy-button-tendancy of viewing our volunteers as slot-fillers instead of real people.

159. Creating A Volunteer Round-About (On Ramps + Off Ramps) Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

#159 - When it comes to leading volunteers, clarity and communication may just be two of the most important words to keep in mind and practice as a leader because they play such a huge role in fostering health, longevity, and relationship for your volunteers. One of the biggest reasons we see volunteers not sticking around for very long in a certain ministry isn’t so much that they don’t enjoy it, but rather because they aren’t sure what they’ve signed up for; is it a life-long commitment? Just for the summer? And on today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Leann Woelk and talk about creating healthy on ramps and off ramps for your volunteers, and the benefits that come from doing so.

Show notes

155. Is Everybody Really Welcome? Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

#155 - It’s easy to love the people that are easy to love, but what about the people that aren’t so easy to love. As ministry leaders, we do a great job of welcoming, loving, and encouraging those who look like us, think like us, and act like us, however, if we take a deeper look at the life and ministry of Jesus, we notice his unwavering love and commitment to the "least of these." In today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Matt Moeckl, Executive Director of Wildwood Hills Ranch, and talk about how the family unit, and the church, can transform the lives and futures of marginalized individuals.
