It Feels Like We’re Trying to Recruit Leaders

Listen Later

3 Things You’ll Learn:

  • Why the Church doesn’t “recruit”—she disciples and releases (Matthew 28:18–20).
  • How Ephesians 4:11–12 equips every believer to serve and grow.
  • Practical ways to cultivate healthy leadership pipelines without burnout.

    • Episode Description:

    When ministry feels like recruitment, something’s off. Greg reframes leadership through Jesus’ model: discipleship, character, and calling—then commissioning at the right time. He shares indicators of unhealthy pressure, how to reset expectations, and how to create environments where gifts emerge organically in community.

    “Healthy leaders are discovered in obedience, not manufactured by urgency.” If you’re weary of the grind, this episode offers a biblical, freeing path forward.
