003: Debunking The 80/20 Rule (It’s Not a Rule; It’s A Symptom‪)‬ The Small Church Ministry Podcast

    • Christianity

The biggest struggle most small churches have is volunteers - not enough volunteers, burning out volunteers, finding new volunteers, and keeping volunteers. 

There’s a lot of commiserating about the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. But is that even true? Does it have to be?

In this episode, we’ll be talking about ...
Where the 80/20 Rule came from and why it’s not a rule at allWhy the 80/20 rule isn’t BiblicalThat it’s immensely important, but not in the way you think it isHow changing your belief about the rule is gonna change your ministryJoin our FREE Creative Solutions for Small Churches Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministry
