It was the famous French philosopher Voltaire who once said, “Judge a man by his questions, rather than his answers.” Candidates who lack experience but are full of potential are often also full of questions about the vision, mission, and strategic direction a church is moving in; Whereas candidates who possess a long ministry background tend to draw their own conclusions. When interviewing new candidates, pay very close attention to whether or not they have any unprompted questions for you to answer such as: “What does the church celebrate most or consider a huge win?” or “What do you think the church’s children’s ministry will look like in 3 years?”
