What’s it really like to work on your team - and what kind of culture are you creating as a leader?

In this episode, Ben and Lynley Mandrell dive into the heartbeat of every organization: staff culture. Whether you're leading a small team or serving on a large church staff, the environment you create - or tolerate - impacts everything.

Ben and Lynley walk through several guiding principles that shape healthy, high-functioning teams. They discuss the importance of direct communication, collaborative spirit, investment in community, clarity in leadership, flexibility in roles, and honoring processes that bring order to chaos. They also get honest about the real consequences of toxic culture and the hard work it takes to change course.

This episode will challenge leaders to evaluate the culture they’re shaping and offer hope that change is possible with intention, humility, and vision.

If this conversation sparked ideas or encouragement, take a moment to rate, review, and share the podcast with another ministry leader. Let’s keep building healthier teams—for the good of the Church and the glory of God.
