446 When church can’t function without you: breaking the always-needed cycle
from The One Thing Hosted by Reach Australia
If you stepped away for a month, would your church stall? The hero complex in ministry rarely announces itself. It feels like diligence. Responsibility. Sacrifice. But underneath can sit something more dangerous — the quiet belief that everything depends on us. In this episode, we explore: What the hero complex really is and why it shows up in gospel ministry The warning signs, from micromanaging to confusing busyness with fruitfulness How our identity in Christ steadies us when things go well or poorly When to say no, and how to do it with clarity Why building teams and sharing responsibility is part of faithful leadership If you’ve ever felt indispensable, exhausted, or quietly resentful that others don’t carry what you carry, this conversation is for you.
