About this listen

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:

  1. Why long-term service doesn’t always mean long-term fit
  2. The fear that asking “what would you rather be doing?” will leave you short-handed
  3. Why liking what we do - and wanting something different - doesn’t make us less holy
