#082 – Have you ever tried to help someone out by sharing your systems and ideas with them, only to be shut out and shut down? You’re handing them the solution they need on a silver platter and they turn you down. I mean, you were only trying to help, right?

80. Don't Give Away The Keys To The Car Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

#080 – What would you do if a stranger asked for the keys to your car? You probably wouldn’t just hand them over, right? In the same sense, what would you do if a first time guest to your church approached you with a grand new vision for your ministry. Would you hand over the keys - bending over backwards and rerouting the course of your ministry and team for this person? In today’s episode of the podcast, we talk about how to approach these unique situations in a helpful and productive way that benefits you and your volunteers.

Show notes

#079 – Do you have a firm grasp of the needs within your ministry? On today’s episode of the podcast we discuss the importance of understanding the needs of your ministry PRIOR to making a dramatic plea to the senior staff, and how that can save you from a great deal of misunderstanding and hurt.

Show notes

#078 – How much change is too much change? As ministry leaders, we always want what’s best for our ministry, but how often are we making changes at the expense of our leaders?

77. The Grass Is Always Greener Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

#077 – Where would you like you and your ministry to be in 5 years time? What dreams do you have in store for what is to come? In ministry, it’s important to be looking ahead at where we’re going, but how often do we look back and celebrate where we’ve been and how far we’ve come? We understand that ministry is not always easy, but in those moments of frustration, one of the most important things we can do is press pause and see how far God’s taken us.

76. You're Too Busy - Curing The Daily Grind Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

#076 – There’s no denying that we live in a culture plagued by busyness - But, is overbooking our daily lives really the best way to work - or even live? Bronnie Ware, a hospice nurse, and author of the book, “Regrets Of The Dying,” states that as she sat with people throughout her career during the last moments of their lives, the second biggest regret people had was, “I wish I didn’t work so hard.” The question we want to ask ourselves on the podcast today is this: is the work work we’re doing accomplishing anything or simply keeping us busy?

75. Safety For Some = Growth For All (w/ Vance Martin) Jun 21, 2021

Show notes

#075 – The concept we’re taking about in today’s episode is the idea of “creating safety for some = growth for all.” It’s easy when we’re scheduling or recruiting volunteers to fall back on our faithful few who show up week in and week out - but what if instead of placing the weight of the ministry on their shoulders, we created a zone of safety around them that not only made them better volunteers, but created a culture and pathway of growth for others as well?

74. The Power Of Pause (w/ Vance Martin) Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

#074 – In our go, go, go culture, it can be difficult for us to press pause. The Navy Seals have a saying that “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast,” and when it comes to the ministry you lead, taking a second to slow down, press pause, and be present IN your ministry rather than constantly working ON your ministry can help give you the fresh eyes you need to see where you’re at, where your volunteers are at, where your ministry as a whole is at, and what direction you might need to head.

73. Building A "Volunteer First" Culture (w/ Vance Martin) Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

#073 – What is your job as a ministry leader? Well, if you’re the kids pastor, it’s ministering to kids, right? If you’re the youth pastor, it’s youth. Small groups, small groups - you get the idea. But what if we told you that your job as a ministry leader was not as directly correlated as you think? On today’s episode of the podcast, Josh and Vance discuss how time invested in volunteers can make a much bigger eternal impact than time invested directly into your ministry.
