This week on Where the Rubber Meets the Road, Pastor Rile Baucom, Preacher Tony Baucom, Phillip Bowers, and Chris Tucker tackle a question every growing church wrestles with: how do you get people from the pew into actually serving? With an average of 280 in attendance but far fewer plugged in, the guys walk through what it really takes to move someone from sitting to serving — starting with prayer for God to send laborers, serving with real joy and enthusiasm instead of going through the motions, and helping people discover their purpose by asking what they love and what they’re genuinely good at (even if, as they joke, it’s definitely not singing for some of them). They talk candidly about the danger of rushing someone into a role before they’ve healed or found their calling, and what true partnership looks like — leading by example, having each other’s backs, and building trust instead of tearing each other down. It’s a practical, heart-driven conversation for anyone wondering how their church, or they themselves, can move from just showing up to truly serving.
