About this listen

Ever had a great volunteer or staff member just disappear?


They didn’t burn out.

They didn’t cause drama.

They just quietly… faded.


In this episode of Church Made Simple, we’re tackling a painful but common reality in ministry: when high-capacity people walk away—not because they stopped loving Jesus, but because your systems didn’t support them.


If you’ve been wondering why great people are leaving, this episode will show you:


✅ The silent warning signs that someone is drifting

✅ 5 broken systems that unintentionally push people out

✅ What volunteers and staff wish they could say before they leave

✅ Why your team might feel more like cogs than contributors

✅ How to build a system that helps people stay, grow, and thrive


This isn’t about adding more policies. It’s about fixing the invisible gaps that cause frustration, isolation, and burnout across your team.
