When You're Good at Your Job But Don't Love It Anymore
Jul 13, 2026 Episode 656

In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, Todd Rhoades discusses the difference between being competent in ministry and finding fulfillment in it. He highlights the importance of alignment between one's deepest gifts and the church's needs, urging listeners to seek both competence and fulfillment in their ministry roles. Todd encourages church staff to reflect on what aspects of their ministry make them feel most alive and to create more space for those fulfilling activities, rather than merely managing tasks. He offers practical advice on how to reclaim the sense of purpose and calling that first drew them to ministry. • Competency does not equate to fulfillment. • Fulfillment comes from alignment of gifts with church needs. • Reflect on moments of deep engagement in ministry. • Create space for activities that bring fulfillment. • Move beyond just managing tasks to thriving in your calling.
