A Giant in our Field It's one thing to make a difference in the short term. It's one thing to be on top for a moment. In today's culture, we cheer for the winner—the one who makes the big splash or wins the big game. In business, it's one thing to show up on, say, Jim Collins' list of Built to Last companies in 1994. It’s a whole different thing to still be exemplary decades later. Back in episode 131, we honored the legacy of the truly amazing Max Wideman. Today, I want to celebrate anot...

Episode 126: Deciding to Stay or Go in Ministry
In this episode, Kenny Conley and Kevin Monahan host a panel discussion of NextGen leaders centered around the question, “Should I stay or go?” In ministry, we are constantly evaluating where God has us, and where he is calling us.

Episode 093: Jim Wideman on Making Time to Rethink Your Ministry
In this episode, I talk with Jim Wideman about the importance of thinking differently. We all have ways of doing ministry that have become routine–typically because we are busy and want to be able to focus on people, as God has called us to do. But, we still need to make time to pray, lean into the wisdom of others, ask questions, and understand the new things God is calling us to in each season. Jim shares the importance of making the time to rethink your ministry, practical tips for doing that, and his own personal experience.

A leader points the way and sets the pace of the home. It’s critical to have goals for yourself and for your family. In Your Marriage: Never quit dating your spouse. Let your kids see you in love with your spouse. Three areas that need intentional attention in marriage: Prayer life/ spiritual life Money Intimacy If you're not working on these 3 areas intentionally, the relationship will struggle.
