Episode notes
Reinventing Worship For A New Generation
- Dharius describes changing his church's worship style away from traditional gospel to blend genres for a new generation.
- The shift drew emotional pushback because music tied deeply to congregational identity.
Dreamer Versus Builder
- Dharius realized he was a designer, not a builder, and leading every function caused burnout and stagnation.
- He redesigned leadership to leverage his strengths and recruit builders to execute vision.
Recruit Builders, Not Just Candidates
- Pray and leverage relationships to recruit people who complement your weaknesses rather than hire by resume alone.
- Entrust authority to builders and retain vision-setting while they handle execution.
