The Small Church Ministry Podcast 216: Mistake #1: Not Asking Them What They’d Rather Be Doing | Church Volunteer Series
This episode kicks off our Stop Doing This to Volunteers series by naming a simple but overlooked leadership habit: never revisiting where someone serves once they’ve said yes.
We talk about the fear that keeps churches from inviting movement, and the belief many people carry that enjoying their role — or wanting something different — is somehow selfish instead of faithful.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why long-term service doesn’t always mean long-term fit
- The fear that asking “what would you rather be doing?” will leave you short-handed
- Why liking what we do - and wanting something different - doesn’t make us less holy
