Do You Love Your Church Job (or Hate It?)

I work with a lot of top notch church leaders. I know none that operate under the first framework. In fact, I don't know of any churches that are tearing it up that have staff that work under the first framework either. So... today's question... are you workin' hard, or hardly workin'?

love-my-job

One way to approach your church work: "I come in on time, even a little early. I do what the everyone asks, a bit faster than they expect. I stay on time and on budget, and I'm hardworking and loyal."

The other way: "What aren't they asking me to do that I can do, learn from, make an impact, and possibly fail (yet survive)? What's not on my agenda that I can fight to put there? Who can I frighten, what can I learn, how can I go faster, what sort of legacy am I creating?"

Two different attitudes.

Which do you have yourself?

Which do you ask of your church staff?

Do they match?

So... today's question... are you workin' hard, or hardly workin'? Do you love your job or loathe it?

It makes a difference. An eternal difference.
