    Mar 18 2026

    How much does team composition really matter in ministry?

    In this episode of The Field Leaders Podcast, Dr. Bob McNabb, Scott Lundy, and special guest Jim Doggett explore why building a high-performing team takes more than spiritual maturity and shared mission. They unpack how gifting, temperament, character, competency, chemistry, and cultural context all shape team effectiveness.

    You’ll hear practical insights on:

    • why the right mix of people matters

    • how “wiring” and SHAPE influence team roles

    • common mistakes leaders make when building teams

    • how team composition should change with mission phase

    • warning signs your team may be missing key strengths

    • how to evaluate your current team without dishonoring people

    This conversation is especially helpful for field leaders, church planters, ministry team leaders, and anyone seeking to recruit, build, and lead a healthier, stronger team.
