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. We want to be prayerful, seek wisdom, and ask good questions in discerning this. These leaders, who have made decisions to stay and go in different seasons, share great insight and helpful tools for wrestling with this question.

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.

Leadersheep Podcast#59: Jim Wideman - Leadership in the HomeA 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.
Parenting:
Deuteronomy 6 was written for parents.
Often times, parents want better for their kids in most areas, but spirituality can be neglected. It’s easy to settle for “just don't be bad.”
