In this episode, I talk with Author and North Point Community Pastor, Clay Scroggins, about his new book, How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge. We have a great conversation about steps you can take to use your influence even when you’re not in charge, how to apply the principles he talks about in a Family Ministry context, and what they look like practically.

Next Episode: Cindy Fiala
In the next episode, I interview my friend, Cindy Fiala. Cindy has recently transitioned into the role of Family Minister at LifeBridge Christian Church. She talks about what that journey has looked like for her and shares a great perspective on transition. Cindy then walks through some really helpful practices for having hard conversations and navigating conflict. Finally, we dig into how Cindy has partnered with parents by creating tribes, or groups, for parents where they can connect with one another.
