#141 - Five Ways to Commit to Having a Great Team19 Nov 202400:11:05

Read the post


If you’re in ministry, you’re most likely working with teams. Pastors work with ministry staff, leadership teams, church councils, boards, deacons, and missions. Student and Kid’s Ministry Leaders work with volunteers, parents, and students. Worship leaders work with band members, vocalists, tech ministry, and potentially other teams.

Whether your teams are short-term or have been serving together for years, it might be good to remind yourself of the following five commitments and share them with your teams. Consider this list as a team member as well as a team leader:

1) Commit to giving 100% 2) Commit to getting better 3) Commit to staying positive. 4) Commit to the team’s mission. 5) Commit to each other.

#140 - Avoid Weasel Words to Make Your Speech More Powerful12 Nov 202400:04:26

Don't give yourself an out... don't expect failure. Confidently talk about your plans as if you believe they could happen!

Use these substitutions:

  • “When” instead of “If”
  • “I will” instead of “I might” or “I’ll try”
  • “I am” instead of “I hope to”
  • “I have” instead of “I’m trying to”

#131 - Five Ideas For Keeping Your Best People Engaged In Mission and Ministry 30 Apr 202400:04:29


The volunteer nature of local church ministry teams can be challenging on many levels. But people committed to you and the church want the ministry to be effective. Once they truly support you as the leader, they will invest a lot to make the mission happen.


Most teamwork is centered around relationships, not institutional titles or structures. Once you connect with the best people for the roles in your ministry, you want to give them a great experience of being a part of the ministry with you.

Getting your team in place and keeping them engaged in the mission and ministry should be a priority for senior leaders in the church and the church staff in their respective ministry areas.

Here are five thoughts for getting your people involved in the ministry with you as the leader:

There are people around who need a message, a word from the Lord. They need to hear God's promise and that the future is going to be bright. You be the one to share that message. 

Ez. 37

37 The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”

“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”

Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!

If Your Identity Is Based On Performance, You're In Trouble. (Interview with Jeff Koziatek)29 Sep 202000:36:10

Tim Price talks with Jeff Koziatek about how too many leaders base their self worth on what they do. Here's how you can break free. 

ABOUT JEFF:

I help top performers gain more personal freedom and professional success by equipping them with the superpower ability to say NO.

It’s deeply personal. It used to be me.

I was running the race – competing with everyone, trying to be the best at everything. I was never satisfied and a certifiable workaholic. I practiced the glorification of busy.

My focus was on everyone else, the next step, the next client, and the next project. I was never fully present where I was. I “did” a lot and missed a lot. I avoided pain and, consequently, never really felt joy. I did not know who I was or what I had.

Then – I hit a breaking point...

Step One – Define what you want to be and do.

What I’d like to do: 

What I’d like to be:


Step Two: Identify an Influential Person.

Think about how this individual has contributed to your life. This person may be a parent, work associate, mentor, pastor, friend, family member, or neighbor. Answer the following questions, keeping in mind the person and your personal goals on what you want to be and do.


Step Three – Define your Life in Roles.

You live your life in terms of roles: father, son, daughter, mother, friend, neighbor, boss, pastor, musician, cousin, CEO, lifeguard, baby sitter, student, athlete, etc.  Define up to seven life roles and then write these roles in the places provided. Write a brief statement of how you would most like to be described in that particular role. You will gain perspective and balance by identifying your life roles.  (Example: Role #1 Husband. I would like to be described as… fill in the blanks with a few words, descriptions).

Roles & Statements:

Step Four – Write a Draft of your Personal Mission Statement.

Roughly 50 words, using the framework from the first three steps, take a first draft stab at your statement and go with it for a while to see if it inspires you.
