In Episode 241 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Todd discuss the, sometimes painful, task of navigating problematic volunteers. Here’s Pavel with today’s question:
What advice do you have for dealing with volunteers that continually make mistakes? How much grace should you show them before letting them go?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Options to navigate challenging situations with volunteers.
- How a tough situation with a problematic volunteer can lead to a coaching opportunity.
