ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do you lead a team of twelve through deep work in thirty minutes? On this episode of The Shepherding Time podcast, Rush Witt and Joe Keller talk with Jonathan Holmes, executive director of CCEF, about how he shepherds his time while stepping into a new ministry leadership role.
Jonathan describes a cultural values project he launched early in his time at CCEF: a team of twelve meeting for half an hour at a time. The tight window forces everyone to prepare well and use the meeting well, and the group has gotten far more done than he expected. He explains why culture matters so much to him (culture is simply how things get done) and why he wants CCEF’s work together to be as grounded in biblical values as the content it produces. He also admits which priorities keep slipping, the HR and organizational details that don’t get him out of bed in the morning, and what does: serving a historic ministry he has long admired and helping shape its future.
