187 | Why Volunteers Quit—and How to Get Them to Stay
Episode 187 of the Fly on the Wall podcast is live—and it’s a big one for pastors and leaders.
In this episode, Chris Sonksen sits down with Pastor Clyde to tackle a quiet challenge that’s holding churches back: We’re great at building teams, but not at building tribes.
👉 If your volunteers feel like they're just filling a spot…
👉 If your part-time or stipend staff aren’t sure what’s expected…
👉 If your staff meetings lack energy and buy-in…
This episode is exactly what you need.
🎧 You’ll discover:
- Why people don’t stay committed to teams—but they will to tribes
- How to raise the bar with volunteers (without overwhelming them)
- A practical way to make every staff member effective, no matter their hours
- How to lead better staff meetings that spark buy-in, creativity, and momentum
- Simple shifts that will turn your church from “meh” to magnetic
🛠️ Chris also shares how small, strategic changes at the top can build a culture of ownership from the ground up.
