Recruiting

Divide the labor and delegate.

•     God delegated the Garden responsibilities to Adam. (Gen. 1:28)

•     Moses’ father-in-law (Jethro) admonished him to delegate in order to avoid burnout. (Exod. 18:1-27)

•     Jesus delegated to His disciples. (Luke 10:1-23; John 4:2)

•     Stephen was tasked to feed the widows so the apostles could focus on their individual callings. (Acts 6:3)


Pursue people of integrity.

“For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.”

—Titus 1:5-9

•     What would it take to verify all of the criteria in Titus 1:5-9?

•     Seek others’ feedback about the candidate BEFORE hiring

•     90-day probation period

  

 

Pursue skillful workers.

“Do you see a man skilled [mahiyr] in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.”

—Proverbs 22:29

“So he [David] shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful [tabuwn] hands.”

Psalm 78:72
