I didn't take time to make sure the volunteers were doing okay. I really did care for them, but didn't show it nearly enough. It seemed like all I cared about was being professional and getting the music to be "good enough." That wasn't the case, but when you don't spend time cultivating relationships with volunteers, they'll resent your desire to become better. When you do spend time with them, you can communicate and develop the desire to get better, while all the time showing your care and respect for those on your team.

I believe that even a Holy, Almighty, Sovereign God actually yearns for something and that something is a relationship with us. I believe that we too often fall into the rut of preparation week after week without taking time to really get to know our ministry partners and what is going in their lives. Great stuff Ryan.
