Healthy ministry doesn’t happen by accident, and neither do healthy teams. In this episode, we explore what it truly takes to build, lead, and sustain a thriving ministry team. Whether you lead staff, volunteers, or a mix of both, this conversation will equip you with practical tools and a biblical foundation for team leadership that lasts.

Chuck Peters and Lee Hotchkiss unpack the dynamics of effective teams and discuss how to assess team health, navigate dysfunction, and cultivate trust. You’ll learn how social science and scripture work together to shape stronger leadership, deepen relationships, and create an environment where every team member can flourish.

From communication rhythms to conflict resolution to fostering belonging, this episode gives you a blueprint you can begin implementing this week. If you want to lead a ministry marked by collaboration, not burnout, silos, or stress, this episode is a must-listen!
