#052 – We're kicking off the new year with a good one! When we feel like we have too much on our plate it's easy to dump off some of our tasks on other members of our team. However, on today's episode of the podcast we talk about the dangers of task dumping, and talk about ways that we can go beyond delegating, and turn task management into discipleship that sets up your ministry for success now and in the future!

48. Your Job As A Leader (w/ Hampton Simms) Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

#048 – At Lead Volunteers we believe the job of a leader is to build up the body to do the work of the ministry. However, there are some leaders who believe all of that work should fall on the shoulders of the hired ministry leader. In today's episode of the podcast, we sit down with Pastor Hampton Simms and talk not only about these differing philosophies of ministry, but how to react if there should be a philosophical disagreement between you and your superior.

#045 – Have you found yourself a little overwhelmed in the past 9 months? I think there are thousands and thousands of pastors and ministry leaders raising their hands with you right now. From the election, to racial injustice, to coronavirus, to the new and daunting ministry tasks we have on our plate - this has been an overwhelming season - to say the least. On this episode of the lead volunteers podcast we talk through three specific questions you can ask yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed to help you do a little self-diagnostics in an effort to help you identify some truths about your stress and how you can continue to move forward.

Show notes

#044 – Have you ever forgotten someone’s name immediately after meeting them, but then felt too bad to ask them again? We’ve all been there, but when it comes to ministry and our volunteers, we hope to never stay there. Doing ministry with people we like is fun, but doing ministry with people we KNOW is life-changing. In today’s episode of the podcast we talk about an uncomfortable conversation that led to one of the greatest traditions in our ministry’s history in regards to volunteer relationships – and how you can implement the same strategies yourself.

43. The Best FREE Ministry Tool Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

#043 – Have you ever found yourself relying mostly on your own intuition and ability instead of relying on the leading and guidance of the spirit? Unfortunately, in our modern western culture, it's easy for us to default to our own ability to make things happen rather than tap into the relationship we have with the God of the universe. God is not a genie in a bottle waiting to grant your every wish, but he is a creator who cares infinitely more about the lives and souls within your ministry than you can. So why wouldn't we rely on his loving guidance instead of our own intuition? That's what we're talking about on today's episode of the podcast.
