Reluctant to recruit? In my job, I have the privilege to regularly sit with Sports, Rec, and Fitness leaders from Local Churches and discuss their ministries. Recently, in one of those conversations, the subject of recruiting came up. The Sports Minister and I were discussing the Ministry’s Leadership Team and one of the people rotating off. I asked if she planned to replace this person. She said yes and we discussed possible candidates. One particular person was at the top of the list and, when I asked further about him, the Sports Minister said, “He is very busy – he already coaches his kids and his job is very demanding.” I sensed her reluctance to recruit him to this position even though he was probably the most qualified for the role. Have you ever felt that reluctance in recruiting someone to your ministry? Answer this question in the poll below. Tomorrow, we will post some thoughts to help overcome this reluctance.
