In ministry, time is the most valuable—and most easily lost—resource. Every pastor on your team wants a moment with the lead pastor, but what happens when the calendar always says “no”? Join Phil Taylor and Chip Bernhard as they unpack how intentional time—shared lunches, walk-around moments, and hallway conversations—can transform a staff culture from transactional to relational. This isn’t about adding more meetings; it’s about making time for what truly builds trust, unity, and health in your team. Because sometimes, five minutes of presence can do more for your staff than fifty minutes of planning. TheChurchHub.org

My name is Phil. I spent 20 years pastoring (mostly executive pastoring) and now I serve churches all over through consulting on buildings and brands at Plain Joe Studios and coaching Executive Pastors. My wife and I have three kids and one grandchild. I’m into running and kayaking.
