6. Visit other churches. I love to tour churches where ever I go and when I do I take lots of pictures. There are several churches I’ve visited more than once and every time I’ve gone I’ve pick up different ideas. I love to visit churches with multiple locations and see what changes they made when they had a chance to redo their children’s space. It’s very eye opening to see what others do firsthand. Get outside your church and take a road trip to visit churches with creative and unique children’s ministries and see what you can learn.
7. Go to conferences. I love to attend conferences for many more reasons than just the sessions. I love to hear and see what has worked for others. I like to take others along with me to expose them to bigger thinking. A picture is worth a thousand words. When others go to conferences that I did not attend I try to identify what did they see and learn and learn through them. Checkout my 1 day training/coaching events at my store called "Day Trips"
hint hint...you can save big on Good Friday @ JWM!

Re: A Growing Leader Is A Learner-Part 6 These are great thoughts, Jim. I think the overall concept you present is something I try and help leaders understand - you have to be intentional about growing...it's not just going to happen. And being intentional has a cost - time, energy and/or money. Those who are willing to pay the price will grow, those who are not...will not. Thanks for your leadership and insight, Jim!
