Is your church really short on volunteers—or are you short on leadership?
In this episode, we challenge a common excuse in ministry: “We just need more people.” Using the example of Solomon’s wisdom and spiritual leadership, we unpack why the issue isn’t the people you're missing—it's the leadership you’re bringing.
We talk real solutions:
✅ Leading from conviction, not convenience
✅ Creating a culture people actually want to join
✅ Letting go of manipulation
✅ Taking full ownership of your role
✅ Praying after you've started leading
If you’re tired of begging people to serve and ready to become a leader worth following, this one’s for you.

Friday Mar 07, 2025
