They discuss how micromanaging, often rooted in insecurity or a lack of self-awareness, can disempower teams and hamper ministry. Conversely, they highlight 'trusting thyme' as a leadership approach centered on authenticity, vulnerability, and patience, which nurtures trusting relationships and empowers teams. The episode is filled with practical insights and stories to help leaders reflect on their practices, overcome the 'weed' of micromanagement, and cultivate the 'seed' of trust for effective ministry leadership.
