    Episode 26 - Evaluating Staff

    Episode 26 - Evaluating Staff

    One thing a lot of young ministry leaders feel unprepared for is the supervision and evaluation of other staff members. Many of us are serving in our first senior leadership role and need help knowing how to evaluate and grow the team around us. Philip Nation is the pastor at FBC Bradenton and he has a lot of insight into helping develop a healthy system of evaluation, which begins at the hiring stage.

    You can connect with Philip on Twitter @PhilipNation

    Scott's book Dream Teams has a lot on developing a team climate, and is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Teams-Winning-Church-Ministry/dp/0692368884.

    Episode 25 - Obstacles in the Established Church

    Episode 25 - Obstacles in the Established Church

    Many younger ministry leaders will find themselves serving in established churches. Sam Rainer, the pastor at West Bradenton Baptist Church, is one of the leading voices about the established church, which he defines as "churches who've been around a long time, have a presence in the community, and have standing programs or ministries." We talk about two of the obstacles from his book Obstacles in the Established Church, and how younger ministry leaders can serve faithfully.

    You can follow Sam on Twitter at @SamRainer where you can learn more about the Revitalize Network. You can also grab a copy of his book from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Obstacles-Established-Church-Leaders-Overcome/dp/0692289852

    Episode 23 - Your First 90 Days

    Episode 23 - Your First 90 Days

    Picture this - You've been through a long search process, you've prayed and interviewed and visited a church. You've been voted on and called. You've packed your house and moved. And you find yourself in your office on your first day. What do you do? In this week's episode, Dan Sardinas (Guest #1) from Northwest Baptist in Bradenton FL and I are talking about how to get a good start in the first 90 days.

    You can see more about a good start from Scott's book "Start Well" available on Amazon in print or Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/Start-Well-Scott-Douglas/dp/0997886196

    Episode 22 - SocialMedia

    Episode 22 - SocialMedia

    It's nice to be back! This week's episode is with Stephen Keene, pastor of Southside Baptist in Shelbyville TN. We're talking about how churches and ministry leaders can navigate the social media world. One of the biggest takeaways from Stephen: sometimes pastors need to live like it's 1992, and not live through social media. We also talk about how churches can use social media as an effective outreach and connection to their communities.

    Episode 21 - Physical Health

    Episode 21 - Physical Health

    One thing that a lot of ministry leaders, especially younger ones, take for granted is their physical health. We're young, we're still active, we play pickup ball or run 5Ks, and we still have our original knees and shoulders. We're not facing pacemakers and dentures, so we often overlook and ignore taking care of ourselves physically. But as pastors, we have a responsibility for our physical health because when we're not in good health, we're not able to be as effective as God would have us be in our churches. If we're constantly sick or dealing with major issues, we can't spend time investing in people or preparing to preach.
