Buc-ees, Wrinkle the Duck, and How to Lead Your Church

Have you ever sauntered into a place with an unexpected plus-one and turned heads? That's nothing compared to Justin Wood's foray into Buc-ee's with Wrinkle, his alleged service duck. In an episode that sounds more like a sitcom setup than a real-life event, I, Todd Rhoades, co-founder of Chemistry Staffing, unravel the curious case of a man and his duck against a gas station titan. It's a tale that quacks open a discussion about rules, grace, and when to ruffle feathers within the church community.Wrinkle's waddle into the limelight at Buc-ee's isn't just about the sensation it caused; it's a mirror held up to the challenges ministry leaders face when unusual situations flock to our doors. As we navigate this amusing yet enlightening conversation, we're not just talking ducks— we're talking about how to extend grace while maintaining the core mission and values of our churches. It's a reflection on love, understanding, and the kind of community we aim to cultivate, even when it means dealing with a situation you'd never expect to quack up in your pews.Have questions or comments?  Send to [email protected] sure to subscribe to The Healthy Church Staff Podcast wherever you regularly listen to podcasts.- - - - - Is Your Church Hiring?If your church is searching for a new staff member, reach out to Todd for a conversation on how he might be able to help.Are You Looking for a New Ministry Role?If you are open to a new church role in the next few months, add your free resume and profile at ChemistryStaffing.com.
