In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, host Todd Rhoades discusses the prolonged use of interim titles in churches and the negative impact it can have on both staff and church operations. Todd emphasizes that the interim status should not be extended indefinitely and urges churches to either commit by hiring, end the interim status, or set a concrete date for resolution. This practice not only affects the interim staff member but also hinders church planning and growth. • Interim staff members often perform full roles without proper recognition or compensation. • Prolonged interim statuses can demoralize staff and disrupt church planning. • Churches should avoid indefinite interims by hiring, ending, or setting clear dates. • Use of 'interim' as a cost-saving measure is not good stewardship. • Churches should focus on providing clarity and stability for staff.
