In this thoughtful leadership episode of the Female Church Leaders Podcast, Kadi Cole tackles one of the hardest ministry leadership calls: knowing when to keep developing a volunteer in their current role, and when it's time to help them move on. Drawing from a personal story, she walks through how to diagnose what's really going on before making a change.

You'll learn how to question yourself about keeping someone for their good versus your convenience, a way to tell a gifting problem from a discipleship one, and how to transition to a volunteer without losing the relationship.
