In this episode, we dive into the concept of a church not solely relying on the pastor for leadership. We’ll explore:

• Sharing the Load: Discover how churches can distribute leadership tasks and responsibilities more effectively among members. We’ll discuss practical ways to empower people to use their gifts and talents within the church, with insights from Jeff and examples like hospitality leadership at our Parkland campus.

• Biblical Basis: Is there a biblical foundation for a more shared leadership model in churches? We’ll examine scripture and how pastors can leverage it to encourage this approach, building on our exploration of the early church during the All In series and Lonnie’s message on the Body of Christ working together in unity.

• Overcoming Pastor-Centricity: Learn strategies for overcoming a culture that has become too focused on the pastor as the sole leader.

• Benefits of Shared Leadership: We’ll highlight the benefits of a more shared leadership model for both the church and its members.

Join us as we unpack these topics and more, aiming to foster a healthier, more inclusive church community.
