Your Staff Isn’t Lazy. They’re Spiritually Disconnected 4k1j4u

Church staff displaying signs of disengagement might not be lazy but spiritually disconnected and malnourished. The real issue is often soul erosion resulting from constant ministry hustle without adequate time to abide in Christ. • Warning signs include emotional flatness despite busyness • Loss of comion, creativity, and conviction about ministry • Staff going through Sunday motions while feeling numb or cynical • Avoidance of deep conversations and focus on just getting through the day • These symptoms indicate spiritual warning lights, not poor work ethic Schedule white space for your team - one day per quarter for personal retreat and soul repair. Normalize soul care by discussing spiritual rhythms alongside productivity expectations. Ask deeper questions during check-ins focused on heart condition, not just project status. Build spiritual health into your organizational culture. Take time after listening to reflect honestly on your own spiritual nourishment and that of your staff.
