You Don't Have an Employee Problem. You Have a Disciple-Making Problem

What if your employee problem is actually a disciple-making opportunity?

As a business leader, it’s easy to focus on hiring, managing, correcting, and rewarding people. But what about intentionally developing them?

In our latest conversation with Dave Buehring, founder of LionShare, we explore what it looks like to see the people you lead as part of the stewardship God has entrusted to you.

A few practical takeaways:

  • Follow Jesus first. Let His character shape how you lead and develop people.

  • Identify who is hungry to grow. Ask, “In whose ears are my words big?” and intentionally invest there.

  • Start small and stay consistent. Invest in a few people, model what you want to multiply, and help them develop others.

You don’t need a company-wide program. Start with one person. Build trust. Invest intentionally. Then help them do the same for someone else.

Want to go deeper? Listen to the full podcast episode for Andy Mason and Dave Buehring’s conversation, then read the blog below for practical steps you can begin applying this week.

The Grace Effect
What if grace wasn’t merely something you received from God, but the way you actually lead your business? This week, Andy Mason talks with Grace Over Grind author Shae Bynes about replacing fear, control, and hyper-independence with trust, surrender, and partnership with God. Grace doesn’t mean working less. It means refusing to operate as though everything depends on you. Takeaways for this we...
Facts, Feedback & Filthy Narratives
You took the risk. Made the hire. Launched the idea. Hosted the event. And…it didn’t go the way you hoped. It’s in those moments that disappointment can quickly turn into what Andy calls “filthy narratives”: I failed. I’m not good at this. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried. But the facts and the story you’re telling yourself aren’t always the same thing. So, what do you do when things don’t go accor...
