344 – What Season Are You In?

In this episode I share a few lessons on life and leadership that we can glean from the changing seasons of nature.  I also share a huge announcement about the future of the Small Town Big Church podcast and my journey in life.

If you live in an area where you experience all 4 seasons in a year, this will make a lot of sense to you. We recognize changing seasons when it comes to climate, but we’re often slow to recognize changing seasons of life.

 

Here a few lessons about seasons: Seasons change and you have no control over them. I need to know what season I’m in. It’s smart to respond appropriately as the seasons change. It’s not helpful to compare myself to people who are experiencing a different season.

 

Questions to consider: What season am I in? In life? In ministry? In family? Am I responding appropriately to the season I’m in?

 

I want to end the show today by sharing an update and a big announcement regarding a changing season in my own life. The season of the Small Town Big Church Podcast/platform is coming to a close. Why? As my journey continues on I have better clarity on how I can BEST be serving pastors in this season of my life. There are many other great resources for the small town/rural church that did not exist a few years ago.  I feel good about that. I am simplifying/focusing in order to be able to do more by doing less! Where do we go from here? I will have two more shows after this one. I’m not going away, just moving to some new platforms and I’m inviting you to join me there.
