The Faithful Few: Your Most Committed People Are Ready for More

from The Healthy Church Staff Podcast

In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, Todd Rhoades discusses the concept of a 'summer slump' in ministry, where volunteer attendance drops during June and July. However, he emphasizes that summer also reveals those who are truly committed and suggests utilizing this time for leadership development and giving additional responsibilities to those faithful few who remain engaged. Rather than viewing summer as a period of slowdown, Todd encourages church leaders to use it as an opportunity for deeper connections and developing future leaders. • The 'summer slump' in ministry sees decreased volunteer attendance due to vacations and other commitments. • Despite the slump, some volunteers remain committed and present. • These committed volunteers are potential candidates for leadership development. • Summer should be used as an opportunity for training and granting new responsibilities. • The podcast encourages a shift from maintenance mode to using summer for strategic leadership development.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.
