044: Why Volunteers Really Say “NO” (& What to Do About It)

If you hear a lot of NOs when you’re looking for volunteers, you’re not alone. Trying to run small church programs with limited volunteers is a challenge whether you’re a church plant or established, an older church or younger one, in the city, country, suburb, or sandwiched in between two mega-churches. Instead of letting the NOs dim your hope, erode your passion, or exhaust your energy, listen in to hear how you can experience God’s grace and compassion in the midst of it all instead. We’ll be talking about:8 reasons volunteers say NO (& why being busy is not one of them)The three most destructive responses to NOs & how to avoid themWhy compassion is a lot more productive than judgmentA reasonable alternative to doing it yourself when there’s no one else to do itRegister for The Volunteer Journey Workshop >> https://smallchurchministry.ck.page/volunteerjourneyRESOURCES MENTIONEDGet your FREE ticket to the Women Reaching Women Conference! smallchurchsummits.comSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
