As a leader, especially if you're a lead pastor, here’s one thing I know you’re always thinking about… your team. Do you have the right people? Are they in the right seat on the bus? Here is a thought that has shaped our hiring process at Milestone Church.

Look for people who are thinking—”Who am I called to build with?”*

*

During the interview process, most people are thinking, *“What will I be doing? How much will I get paid? Where do I want to live?”* In Ruth 1, we see a clear picture of spiritual family—people building together. Ruth tells Naomi, “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” It’s a biblical pattern we see over and over. God divinely brings people together who form a lifelong relationship for His glory and purpose. 

Be patient with the process—wait for the one you know you can build with (and can build with you) over the long haul.
