Often, churches hand leadership responsibility to volunteers who don't have the capacity for it. Or they fail to develop the people who do have leadership capacity because they're spreading attention evenly across everyone instead of investing deeply in a few. The problem isn't a lack of leaders. It's a lack of a system to develop them. In this episode, Sean and Jonathan break down what it actually looks like to intentionally develop volunteer leaders through a pipeline : The evidences of leadership capacity The three levels of volunteer leadership to have in your pipeline Auditing your volunteers and putting your framework into practice This Episode is Sponsored by The Church Lawyers Every church needs trusted legal counsel, but finding attorneys who truly understand ministry can be challenging.
