The Power of Apprenticeship with Matt Millar - Part 2

Join us for Part 2 of our conversation with Steve Sonderman and Matt Millar as we dive deeper into the importance of apprentices in ministry. Jesus intentionally chose His disciples, He set clear expectations, and prepared them for their mission—so how can we follow His model today?

In this episode, we continue to explore:
 -  Preparation – Teaching apprentices what they need to know before sending them out.
 -  Empowerment – Encouraging leaders and helping men overcome fear of failure.
 -  Giving Away Responsibility – Developing leaders by providing clear roles and expectations.
 -  A Holistic Apprenticeship Process – Investing in people at every level of your organization.

A structured apprenticeship involves a four-step process: modeling, assisting, empowering, and fully releasing the apprentice into leadership while offering continued guidance. When it comes to graduation apprentices, it's about setting clear expectations, equipping them with what they need, and providing ongoing encouragement and support as they step into their role.

Matt Millar also shares key questions to ask apprentices and practical ways to make apprenticeship a core part of your ministry's culture.
