This episode in Stop Doing This to Volunteers: Top Mistakes Our Churches Are Making looks at how we unintentionally sideline volunteers before they even begin.

We’ve been taught in leadership to make plans first and ask for help later. Turns out, that’s a great way to make people feel unnecessary, unimportant, and often unseen.

In this episode, we cover:

How early planning decisions limit participation
Why people disengage when they’re brought in too late
What shared ownership actually looks like in small churches
