The Performance Review Revolution: Linking Performance to Spiritual Formation

This episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast focuses on transforming church staff performance reviews from business-like evaluations into meaningful discipleship conversations. Todd Rhoades discusses the importance of integrating spiritual development with professional performance, suggesting a new framework for reviews that includes competence, character, and calling, to better reflect the unique nature of ministry work. • Performance reviews in churches often mirror corporate models, lacking spiritual depth. • Suggests integrating spiritual growth into review processes, not separating character from competence. • Proposes using open-ended questions to focus on personal and spiritual growth. • Recommends dividing reviews into sections: competence, character, and calling. • Performance reviews should feel like discipleship conversations rather than corporate evaluations. • Encourages churches to develop review systems that include spiritual formation aspects.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.
