Episode 102 - Volunteer Abuse Christian AF Podcast

- Christianity
Right smack in the middle of trying to build a stronger community, the topic of volunteering in church stirs up more than just dust. It's a whirlwind of questions: Are we asking too much from our volunteers? Is there a thin line between utilizing skills and outright exploitation? And what about burnout – that silent thief that sneaks up on the most willing of spirits? This week, Jesse, Evan, and Jen tackle these questions head-on, dissecting the delicate balance of volunteerism within church walls.
From the silent expectations to the loud cries for help, we sift through the complexities of leadership, commitment, and the true essence of serving. Is it possible to create a space where volunteering feels more like a two-way street and less like a one-way ticket to exhaustion?
Pour a drink, grab a seat, and join us as we wade through the volunteer vortex, searching for the sweet spot between giving too little and asking too much.
