Hey, Friend!

If you are a minister, then you know that volunteers are worth their weight in gold. As a minister, you are a leader and it is the responsibility of every leader to develop those under their leadership. This includes developing both the capacity of your volunteers, as well as a healthy dependency on you for the vision, the mission of the church as it translates to your ministry, and all the support you can give.

In today’s episode, I focus on creating a healthy dependency. In next week’s episode, I share some ways that you can create capacity in your volunteers.

There must be a balance between dependency and capacity in order for your volunteers to feel both valued and necessary, while also building their ability to take ownership and grow in their roles.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend,

In last week’s episode, I compared positive thinking to toxic positivity. With one, there is an attempt to look on the bright side while acknowledging some big feelings that need attention. With the other, the quest for positive thinking feels forced while feelings are discounted or ignored.

In today’s episode, we uncover some of the possible causes of toxic positivity. If you have ever been accused of toxic positivity or if you have experienced this approach in others, this episode is for you.

I pray this blesses you!

Becky
