Episode 74: How To Build A Team Like Jesus

Congratulations! Your ministry or business is growing! You are finally seeing the fruit of all your hard work. But that hard work has worn you out and it’s time to find some help! What if you could build a team like Jesus? In Episode 74 of Just One Simple Thing, you’ll learn four tips for building your team by looking at how Jesus built his.

I know that many of you are solopreneurs or ministry leaders and when you’ve built something born out of your gifts and passions, it’s hard to let anything go. Nobody can do it quite as well as you can, right? Deep down, you know that attitude is an accelerator on the road to burnout. When things get bigger than you can handle on your own, it’s time to build a team. But how do you find the right people? People you can trust? People are great at what they do so you can be great at what YOU do?

Whether you are hiring your first freelance help, or gathering a ministry leadership team around you, there are some lessons we can learn from the way that Jesus built the team that would share his work and his life.

1. He got to know them before calling them to His inner circle.
2. Jesus evaluated people based on their potential, not their current position.
3. Jesus watched them when they didn’t know he was looking.
4. And as he did before every other major event, Jesus prayed about it.

Yes, it can be scary to start building your team when you have been doing everything yourself. But when you build with the right people, it frees you up to do your own best work.

I love hearing from podcast listeners …. Kristine Brown, author of the book Cinched: Living with Unwavering Faith in an Unfailing God said, “I love listening to podcasts that help me grow as a speaker, writer, and communicator. But I also struggle to find an extra 45 minutes in my day to listen. Christa gets me on the right track with one simple, doable step forward in just 10 –15 minutes. Now that’s progress.
