The One Thing


426 Ministry teams suck (unless you get these 4 things right)

October 27, 2025

Most ministry teams don’t fall apart because of conflict. They often drift because people stop showing up — in body, heart, or prayer.

In this episode, Dave Moore talks about what helps teams become healthy, dependable, and deeply Christian. He unpacks the four things that make a team worth being part of — the kind that actually helps people follow Jesus together.

In this episode:

  • The four things every team needs to get right

  • The quiet crisis of people in ministry who’ve stopped showing up

  • What happens when Christians act like Christians in conflict and frustration

  • Why your team needs a prayer, not just a vision statement
  • How one personality tool helped a team move from endless “I wonder…” meetings to real progress


Dave Moore became a Christian through SRE at primary school. Dave is the Executive Pastor at Hunter Bible Church in Newcastle. He is also an author and the Founding Director of Safe Ministry Check online.
