Sharing the Load – Tim’s Tech Talks – December 2019

For many of us COVID is bringing big challenges. We’re taking on more responsibilities with streaming video, ect. Let’s be honest, some of us are control freaks. It’s difficult to bring someone on and delegate a task to them, especially if it’s not done exactly as we would do it. But it’s time for you to teach others also. We need to learn how to train and delegate responsibilities to new volunteers. Sure, once in a while things aren’t going to go just right, but that’s how we learned for the most part. Take up the challenge in 2021 to train some new tech volunteers and then let them take over certain parts of your responsibility. You need help. You can’t keep doing everything all by yourself or you may end up burnt out and bitter. I know it’s hard to delegate and let go of things that are “your ministry” but you can do this with the Lord’s help. Even Paul needed help. Remember his words in 2 Timothy 4:11 “Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.”
