The Unique Role of the Executive Pastor - Episode 458

<p>The senior pastor owns vision. The ministry staff own execution. <strong>But who owns the space in between?</strong></p> <p>The gap between vision and execution—the strategy, the alignment, the ability to pull things together—is where churches get stuck. And the <strong>executive pastor</strong> is the person who can close that gap.</p> <p>You may call this role something different in your church, but the best way to think about this role is as the integrator. Some people think the XP role is the "associate" or "the person who does the stuff the lead pastor doesn't want to do." It is so much more than that.</p> <p>A great executive pastor might be <strong>the rarest, most valuable person on your team</strong>. So in this episode, Sean and Jimmy dive into what only the executive pastor can do. </p> <p><!-- notionvc: d66a0ccb-292c-4f7d-be87-e42a7ed1be36 --></p> <ul> <li><span class="notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="0">Heart for theology, head for organizational leadership </span></li> <li><span class="notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="0">3 roles an XP can't delegate</span></li> <li><span class="notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="0">Leading a high-impact team</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>This Episode is Sponsored by <a href= "https://plainjoe.net/">PlainJoe Studios</a></strong></p> <p>Unlock the power of story in your worship space.
