42. Small-Time Ministry in a Big-Time Way (w/ Dawn Farris) Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

#042 – “Those who are faithful in little, will also be faithful in much.” – It’s easy in ministry to covet the “numbers” and “success” of larger ministries, but what does that say to the majority of faithful servants whose name may never be known to the masses? The beauty of ministry is not found in self-glorification, but in the glorification of the God who created you and every single person in your ministry. In today’s conversation with Dawn Farris, we talk about how to lead your family while in full time ministry, how to win in ministry, how to fail gracefully and productively, and also how to be faithful servants in the places God has us.

39. How To Easily Boost Your Productivity Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

#039 – Mark Twain was credited with saying, “if the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live frog, you can go through the rest of the day knowing the worst is behind you.” When it comes to ministry, we often find ourselves doing the easy – low effort tasks at the beginning of our days to “ease ourself into the day.” While this “ease-in” method may seem nice, it is actually an enemy of your productivity. In today’s episode of the podcast we talk about our brain’s capacity for focus and execution – and how if we waste our time on easy tasks when our brains are most productive, we won’t have anything left to accomplish the “big-rock-tasks” that need to be moved to advance our ministry’s mission.

38. Knowing When To Say "No" Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

#038 – We live in a world with a seemingly endless amount of resources – especially in the church world! You’ve probably been to a conference or roundtable that presents you with the next best thing for your ministry. You’ve also probably had conversations with other ministry leaders or members of your church that give you a lead on a new resource that you should take advantage of. There is no shortage of materials and resources for us to take advantage of as leaders – so how do we know which one to pick? And once we decide which direction we’re heading, how do we stick with it and not get distracted by every shiny object that comes our way? Well, that’s what we’re going to talk about on today’s episode of the podcast – picking a direction and sticking with it.

Show notes

#037 – What would you say is the most important ministry in your church? I’m sure there are one or two things that come to mind (including the ministry you lead, of course), but what if we told you that there are more important things to focus on? Hard pill to swallow, right? In this episode of the podcast we talk about how to focus our ministries in on our "core" so that we don’t get repeatedly distracted and overwhelmed by the extra programming and tasks that seem to fill our plate as leaders.

36. The Most Effective Recruiting Strategy Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

#036 – Have you ever had the thought, “if only my church was bigger, I’d have more volunteers?” We have too. The problem is, that just isn’t the case. In fact, the opposite is usually true – the bigger the church, the harder it is to find volunteers - and the reason has to do with personal interaction and relationship. Recruiting is never easy no matter the size of your church, so in this week’s episode of the podcast we talk about the MOST EFFECTIVE way to recruit high-quality volunteers.

35. Measure Twice, Cut Once Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

#035 – You may have heard it said before – “measure twice, cut once.” This idea that we should double check our work before making a decision. This is a principle we can all take into our ministry contexts. In today’s episode we talk about a few tools that we can apply to help us measure twice and cut once in ministry such as “The 24 Hour Rule,” “Scripting our Thoughts,” and more. These simple things will not only help you clarify your vision as you move forward, but it will leave a lot less “scrap wood” in your wake.

34. One Reason Your Volunteers May Quit Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

#034 – What is the biggest reason volunteers quit? Our gut tells us that it’s because they were overworked, right? But what if instead of having too much to do as a volunteer, they actually had too little? It’s easy as ministry leaders to feel like we are burdening our volunteers with unbearable tasks (which is why so many of us are doing too many things ourselves), but what if we reframed our understanding of delegation and used the gifts and abilities of our team to advance the mission and gospel in our ministries? That’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode!
