Swebb's essay-turned-ebook (and course) offers a critical look at church compensation practices, challenging conventional wisdom and addressing common problems. Swebb argues that churches often chase nonexistent pay standards, struggle with budgeting, overstaff, and lack the desire to see their teams financially succeed. Swebb advocates for determining a real living wage in the area, budgeting by percentages, and paying professionals for responsibilities rather than simply filling roles. Ultimately, Swebb encourages churches to prioritize financial responsibility, strategic staffing, and a healthy perspective on compensation to effectively fulfill their mission.
