Why is it so hard to get volunteers?

Church leaders often assume people are simply too busy to serve. But what if the problem isn't people's capacity—it's how we're inviting them to contribute?

In this episode, Mel and Melinda explore why people are more likely to serve when they're personally invited, genuinely valued, well-equipped and given opportunities that feel meaningful. They also challenge the language of "volunteering" and ask how churches can recognise the unique gifts and contributions already sitting within their congregations.
