You work hard to reach people. Then you ask them to give meaningfully, volunteer their time, and invite their friends. And all the while, they’re volunteers. CEOs at least pay their team. You ask yours to give and sacrifice and never hand them a paycheck.
And—because it’s a volunteer organization—people can leave anytime. Increasingly, people feel freer than ever to do just that.
Being a church leader is a tough assignment (very worth it, but still tough).
The real question is—do you make it harder than it needs to be?
Unfortunately, for many leaders (including myself), the answer is yes.
