Episode notes
Leadership Development Mandate
- Prioritize leadership development like a Ten Commandment, it's crucial for long-term success.
- Invest time now to avoid future struggles and ensure a strong legacy.
High Campus Pastor Turnover
- A church with 30 campus pastors historically only retained two currently, with no explanation for the others' departures.
- This highlights the failure of many churches to prioritize and implement effective leadership development.
Ranchers, Not Shepherds
- View campus pastors as 'ranchers,' not just 'shepherds,' focused on growth and multiplication, not just caretaking.
- Prioritize 'wake makers,' individuals who create energy, excitement, and momentum within the church.
