78. Kerry Smith - NextGen: Impact Built to Sustain

Sep 1, 2021

Kerry Smith is the Director of Women and Children at Good News Church in Powell, Ohio. She is also the host of the Gathered Courage Podcast and an editor for the Plant Strong Podcast! Kerry covers lots of ground in this episode—listen for her wisdom on why she has eliminated the word busy from her vocabulary and how children aren’t the church of the future, but the church of NOW.

Practices that have helped Kerry

1. Get up 1 1/2 hours earlier than your family
2. "I am" list
3. Deleted word "busy" from your vocabulary

Things Kerry has let "fall away"

1. checking email first thing in the morning
2. grocery shopping in person

Resources:
-Expo Conference
-Orange Conference
-It's Just a Phase by Reggie Joiner
-Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp

Set up IN YOUR CALENDAR time to process conferences - or else it becomes discouraging instead of inspiring.

We give a sense of urgency to things that don't necessarily require it.
