The Child Discipleship Podcast - Sam Luce: Recruiting Volunteers For The Mission
play

07/06/23 • 30 min

Sam Luce, Pastor of Global Ministries at Redeemer Church in New York, helps kick off season five of the podcast by talking about recruiting volunteers. It is easy to be overly apologetic when we recruit volunteers, or to become overburdened and try to do everything ourselves. Sam provides wisdom and practical solutions on leaders can be a “non-anxious” presence for their teams and focus on the people in their ministry instead of the tasks of any given Sunday.
