Episode 123 - The 8 Proven Ways For Turning Volunteers Into Leaders

DISCLAIMER TO EXONERATE JEFF & JONNY!
Just to be clear, no money, goods, or services flow between us and John's site, GrowAHealthyChurch.com. If you happen to purchase a resource from John, we get nothing. We love John and what he is doing, and we asked him if he would join us to talk about something he is very experienced in, and that is turning ministry volunteers into ministry leaders!

We do not have an affiliate or business relationship with John - just friendship in ministry together.

We know you will love this episode! What we get is the satisfaction of providing this for you, to encourage you in your ministry!

That's right, this episode is full of fun, encouragement, ideas, and equipping you to turn volunteers into leaders! Jonny and I are simply thrilled out of our minds to be able to share this jam-packed 33-minute episode with you - from our conversation with John Finkelde from www.GrowAHealthyChurch.com.

WHERE ELSE?
Did we say this is a blast for us to give to you?! We were just talking in the office today (we snuck in a short conversation even though I am on sabbatical...) and again remarked how we wouldn't know where else online we could get this kind of practical podcast specifically tailored for small church pastors. If there is another one, we just haven't found it yet, and as small church pastors ourselves, we need this stuff. So to share it with all of you is a special kind of enjoyment!

We are not going to list the 8 Proven Ways here on this blog, you'll have to get John's cheat sheet from his site, www.turnvolunteersintoleaders.com. This is his material, and we don't feel right copying it here, even though it's all in audio form on the podcast - you can enjoy it there. But if you want the actual cheat sheet pdf, just go to his site. You'll like it!

A FIRST ON THE 200CHURCHES PODCAST
Next week we will have a new guest on, and talk about a topic we've never covered before on the podcast... CHILDREN'S MINISTRY! This is a great episode you will not want to miss - and yes, it's geared for small church PASTORS, not Children's Ministry volunteers, although they could certainly benefit from it.

We asked a Children's Ministry expert to speak specifically to you, pastors, and tell you what she believes you need to know about Children's Ministry in the small church - next week on episode 124!

PASTOR'S WIVES...
Check out Di Finkelde's book, Conversations With A Pastor's Wife - Timeless Stories Exploring the Challenges of Ministry Life. Again, we get nothing if you buy it, but your wife might get some much needed encouragement! (sorry, pastor's husbands, no book for you yet!)
