Pundit: I'm tired of seeing churches misusing kingdom resource s in ways that constrain our ability to accomplish god's mission for the church. The number one thing i'm hearing is the sense, as pastors, they're saying, we're overstaffed. Another theme that i'm hearing are starting to experience financial constraints. Things are just different than they were a few years ago, and our ministry strategies need to change.

Most churches have lower attendance today than they had three years ago—but they still haven’t right-sized their staff team to reflect their current attendance.

In this four-week series, we’ll walk through a number of early warning signs that it’s time to address staffing issues and restructure in your ministry team. In this episode, we'll focus on overstaffing.
