Pastor Chris and Pastor Kerry continue on the series Ministry Leadership.

In this episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, Jared sits down with William Vanderbloemen to talk about one of the toughest leadership decisions: knowing when it's time to add a team member — and when it's time to let someone go. Drawing on lessons from church plants, nonprofits, and businesses alike, William shares practical advice, honest stories, and leadership insights for navigating team changes wisely. Key discussion points include: The Volunteer to Staff Shift: How to know when a volunteer is too vital to leave unpaid — and why delaying can cost you. Living on Margin: Why operating with financial margin is crucial to growing your team the right way. Hiring Doers vs. Leaders: How recruiting, training, and retaining volunteers is the real engine behind church and nonprofit growth. Avoiding Cheap Leadership: Why underpaying (or over-relying on free labor) eventually backfires — and what Scripture says about honoring laborers. Building a Resilient Team: Why every leader needs a “vomit list” — and how to plan for the inevitable transitions ahead. Whether you're leading a startup, growing a church, or scaling a nonprofit, this conversation will give you practical tools for building a stronger, healthier team — one wise decision at a time.

In this episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, Jared sits down with William Vanderbloemen, to talk about what it really means to build a team from level zero. From working off a card table with just his dog for company to leading a thriving business, William shares humorous stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical advice for leaders who are building their dream team—especially in the early stages. Key discussion points include: Level Zero Leadership: Why you don't need to look like a big organization to make a big impact—and how being small can be your biggest strength. Hiring Your First Team Members: The risks, mistakes, and mindset shifts leaders need to navigate when making their first few hires. Trust vs. Talent: Why hiring only people you “know” can backfire—and how to balance familiarity with fit. The Danger of Too Much You: How self-awareness and diversity of thought create healthy, high-functioning teams. Slow to Hire, Quick to Fire: Why rushing the hiring process is the number one mistake leaders make—and how to slow down without losing momentum. Whether you're planting a church, launching a business, or leading a growing team, this episode will help you think more clearly about building culture, managing risk, and making the right hires from the start.

In this series, Amy and Sean will kick off 2025 by helping you learn a more nimble, actionable approach to planning and aligning your staff and church around a common purpose.  And in Part 1, they're picking on church mission statements and sharing what makes more sense.

Daniel Lee is the academic dean for the Center for Asian American Theology and Ministry at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of Doing Asian American Theology.Daniel Lee discusses the fact that each of us does theology from a particular persepective.  Recognizing our own "particularities" makes us far better leaders.  Why?  Because the more we are aware of our own cultural particularities, the more we become competent as leaders in regard to one another's cultural particularities.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Daniel Lee discusses the idea of God transcending divisive issues and the theological basis for God's perception of people.Daniel Lee initially saw his Korean heritage as baggage and tried to shed his cultural identity for a more generic evangelical perspective, but later realized the importance of embracing his Asian American identity in relation to his faith and theology.Initially resistant to being an Asian American theologian, Daniel Lee eventually embraced the need to articulate and address the significance of his cultural identity in his theological work.Daniel Lee points out that everyone has their own perspective and that when some perspectives become normalized, others are seen as abnormal. This issue exists in society and churches.Lee highlights the absence of modern-day race in the Bible and emphasizes the interaction between God and individuals, suggesting God's unique interaction with each person.Daniel Lee compares Asian American theology to the witness of God found in the gospels, emphasizing that theology is contextual and filtered through human perspective.It is important to recognize theology from an Asian American perspective and to witness to the one God collectively, while acknowledging that different perspectives yield a robust understanding of God.Ministry leaders need to move beyond crude stereotypes depicted in pop culture and gain a deeper understanding of colonial history and community-specific challenges.It is so important to gain more vocabulary and knowledge about different communities.  We also need humility and adaptiveness when interacting with individuals and communities.Both Daniel Lee and Markus Watson talk about the importance of discerning and joining in with what God is doing within communities.It is important to understand particularity in theology, as well as apply ministry in specific and precise ways rather than using a generic approach.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Daniel Lee:Center for Asian American Theology and MinistryBooks mentioned:Doing Asian American Theology, by Daniel LeeDoing Local Theology, by Clemens SedmakChurch Leadership InstituteRelated Episodes:Episode 173: The Art of Interpreting Culture, with Justin BaileyEpisode 167: Called to Each Other, with Claude AlexanderEpisode 149: Ministry Leadership in a Racialized Society, with David SwansonEpisode 143: How the Church Can Respond to Immigration, with Karen GGet Becoming Leaders of Shalom for free HERE.Did you know Spiritual Life and Leadership has been named the #1 Spiritual Leadership Podcast by the Feedspot Podcasters Database?

Are you willing to listen to and take action on the assignment God has for you today while He writes your story?  In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Cheryl, and Clair discuss: The three things every child needs to hear from their dad. Finding faith in yourself and building your relationship with Jesus Christ.Surrounding yourself with Godly men and teaching generational generosity. Donating your time to God and living for the present.   Key Takeaways: Commit to work together with your spouse and family. Focus on connection and conversation, not on separation and conflict. There are ways to help others lift themselves, not just give them a handout if you think outside the box. Kids cannot hear you, they can only see you. You are raising God's children, show them the way to live through your own actions. Stay in relationship with those who have not yet come to Christ. Everything is on God's timing and your job is to just stay in relationship.   "When you hand God the pen, He's gonna write a different story that is going to be so much better and so much more than the story you think you can write." —  Clair Hoover Episode References: HOPE International: https://www.hopeinternational.org/Cheryl Byrne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-byrne-92454344/ About Clair Hoover: Clair is a business owner specializing in commercial real estate acquisition and management and has a calling to challenge and encourage men as Christ followers.   Clair is an honors graduate of Millersville University with degrees in Accounting and Computer Science.

Many leaders are caring for loved ones who are ill or elderly. It is a unique journey of its own and one where support is greatly needed. Today, Deanna and Judi give some wisdom for those who are walking this path. The post Navigating Ministry/Leadership and Caregiving at the Same Time Part 2 appeared first on Join The Movement!.

A new survey of churches across the US reveals that only 17% of women's ministry leaders are in paid staff positions at their churches. Put another way, 83% of women's ministry leaders serve totally as volunteers. Additionally, only 5% of women's ministry leaders conduct their planning with the involvement of the wider church staff.Women's ministry can be a great joy, but it can also be a heavy burden. Women's ministry leaders often face variables that are unseen by other church members and leaders. Navigating inequities in pay and involvement in overall church vision and strategy can be isolating. On this episode of All Things Jen Oshman asks Jen Wilkin tons of women's ministry questions: Why it's beneficial. Why and how to integrate it within the broader church staff and vision.Why it's important that women are paid for their work (Serving is good too! But pay does matter.).What makes a substantive women's ministry. How women who lead as volunteers can begin a conversation about wages with their leadership. If women should go to seminary if they aren't guaranteed paid work. How women who serve in healthy churches can encourage their sisters who don't. A gospel-centered perspective on growing women's ministry, even when it feels tough. . We cover a lot of ground! If you are a woman in ministry, a woman in church, or a man in ministry, this episode is for you.Many thanks to our episode sponsor: Crossway: crossway.org Behold and Believe: A Bible Study on the "I Am" Statements of Jesus, by Courtney Doctor, Joanna Kimbrel - https://www.crossway.org/books/behold-and-believe-tpb/Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds, by Jen Wilkin - https://www.crossway.org/books/women-of-the-word-tpb-2/Word-Filled Women's Ministry: Loving and Serving the Church, edited by Gloria Furman, Kathleen Nielson - https://www.crossway.org/books/word-filled-womens-ministry-tpb/ To learn more about Jen Wilkin's work: https://www.jenwilkin.net/Resources mentioned on the epsidoe: Honor Thy Church Mothers—with Wages: Christianity Today article by Jen Wilkin - https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/october/wilkin-women-ministry-leaders-church-staff-wages-lifeway.html The State of Ministry to Women by LIfeway Research - https://research.lifeway.com/state-of-ministry-to-women/ Resources for growth for women in ministry: Lifeway Women Academy: Online Courses for Women, by Women - https://www.lifeway.com/en/special-emphasis/lifeway-women-academyWomen's Ministry Leadership cohort with The Gospel Coalition - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/tgcwomen/#cohortsSimeon's Trust Online Courses - https://simeontrust.org/online-courses/Bible Equipping Cohorts - https://bibleequipping.org/cohorts
