I felt a great sadness, because I know training is my gift. But the mind-blowing thing of the new congregation I've joined is that they've already asked me to train. I recommend developing an interviewing process for new members. Even if the church is small, the key is the process of talking. What comes out of these conversations is amazing.
People share things they've never shared before.
That's what many have experienced. They think, I don't have the time. I want to go somewhere where I can be fed. Burnout is why a great many people who were pillars somewhere else are now pewsitters. They're not going to get used up again.
