In this episode, I sit down with Ben Cashen, Worship Ministries Director at Christian Life Center in Heath, OH, to talk about one of the most overlooked but critical areas of church growth: building healthy, high-capacity volunteer teams.If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your team isn’t improving…If everything still relies on you…Or if your department feels stuck at a plateau…This conversation will give you clarity and practical direction.Ben breaks down the 4 pillars of effective teams—standards, systems, leadership, and stewardship—and explains why most churches struggle with growth because they’re missing just one or two of these.We also talk about:- Why your team may not be improving (even with experience)- The hidden reason churches hit a growth ceiling- How to develop teams that function without you- Why excellence matters in a Spirit-led church- The balance between structure and allowing God to moveConnect with Ben - https://www.cashencreative.com
