In this episode, Ben, John Paul, and Julie talk about five ministry intentions that seem great at first but do not always work out as intended.

Show Notes and Quotes:

We should not make people fit into our programs but we should flip the script and build our programming around our people. Knowing what your people will thrive in makes all the difference. 

If we do not share ministry then we rob people of discipleship opportunities. 

If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. That mentality robs people of ministry opportunities and the ability to grow their own spiritual gifts. 

When we neglect to raise up other leaders in our ministry we neglect part of the call that God has placed on our lives as leaders.
