Skills vs. Calling: Striking the Right Balance

The Healthy Church Staff Podcast

Unlock the secret to making an exceptional church hire with our latest episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast! Guided by Todd Rhoades, co-founder of Chemistry Staffing, we venture into the art of balancing skills, calling, character, and potential. While skills might get a candidate through the door, it's the calling that truly sets them apart, imbuing them with passion, humility, and growth. Todd shares a cautionary tale of a children's pastor whose stellar resume overshadowed a critical weakness—lack of a heart for discipleship—leading to a ministry that appeared successful but lacked genuine impact.
Navigate through the nuances of evaluating both skills and calling to ensure a candidate is not just job-hunting but truly aligned with your church's mission and culture. Todd offers insights into recognizing the deep sense of purpose in candidates and how this calling fuels their passion and dedication. This episode promises to equip you with the tools to not only assess technical qualifications but to uncover the potential for meaningful ministry leadership, ensuring that your church staff thrives and fosters a vibrant church community.
