Many churches struggle with senior leaders who are stuck doing ministry instead of leading others to do it. In this episode, we break down how to make the shift—biblically and practically—from being hands-on doers to high-leverage leaders who equip others for lasting impact.

Scott Ball and A.J. Mathieu, church consultants with The Malphurs Group, co-host the Church Revitalization Podcast. With decades of combined experience helping churches thrive, they share real-world insights for leaders looking to lead more effectively and build healthier teams.

In this episode:

• (00:45) Why equipping others is a biblical imperative (Ephesians 4)

• (06:20) What it really means to lead instead of do

• (13:00) Why you need more tolerance for failure and less for mediocrity

• (19:40) How to build a culture that rewards leadership, not just busyness

• (23:45) Practical steps for managing the transition from doing to leading
