One of the biggest hurdles that churches face is the revolving door regarding staffing. Statistics show that ministry leaders and pastors are switching jobs or leaving ministry altogether in large numbers.

Matt Steen of Chemistry Staffing works daily with churches and potential staff members to help churches have a healthy staff culture and ensure their next hire is excellent. In this episode, Matt talks about the parts of the process you cannot skip when hiring, how to treat people well even when they aren't your choice, and why slowing down your process might be the best decision you make.

As always, let us know what you think!

One area that churches are struggling to become resourced in and are starting to feel the pressure in the areas of mental health and suicide.

Mark specializes in motivational speaking, leading educational workshops, and suicide intervention instruction. You’re going to love this conversation.

In this Video Blog, you’ll see Mike’s conversation with Jaqueline Cleland. Mike hears all about how a simple desire to get teens in community using their favourite video game turns into one of the deepest dives into Biblical History a youth group has ever done. This conversation reminds us all that not only can God use anything to draw us closer to Him, but we need to make sure we don’t put ministry in a box or make assumptions about how effective something can be.
