Premium Members — Plain English LIVE starts this Thursday! 🔥
Sonia and I are kicking off something new exclusively for our Premium community. Every other Thursday at 7 PM, we're going LIVE for real conversations about marriage, leadership and ministry. Our first conversation will be on the topic: VOLUNTEERISM IS NOT AN ASSEMBLY LINE Are we developing the people God has given us…or just finding bodies to fill positions? Premium members, we'll see you Thursday, September 10 at 7 PM! And if you're currently a Standard member and want to join these conversations, Plain English LIVE is one of the experiences included with Premium.

Take a moment to introduce yourself by sharing: 👋 Your name 📍 Where you're from ⛪ Your church (if you attend one) 💼 What you do for work or ministry 🌱 Which area are you most passionate about right now? - Marriage - Leadership - Five-Fold Ministry 🙏 What's one thing you're believing God to grow in during this season? 🎉 Share one fun fact about yourself! Finally... 👇 How did you find Plain English Academy? - Live Leadership Cohort - Facebook - YouTube - Garden City Church - Friend or Family - Other We can't wait to get to know you! Before you leave, take a minute to read a few other introductions and welcome someone you don't know. Great communities aren't built by one person, they're built one conversation at a time.

👀 WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO TALK ABOUT?
Sonia and I have been talking about some of the conversations and classes we want to bring into Plain English Academy over the next few months, but before we decide everything for you...we figured it might be a good idea to actually ask you. 😂 So here's the question: What are you dealing with right now that you'd love for us to have a real conversation about? It can be something related to: - Marriage & Family - Leadership - Ministry & Church - The Bible - Purpose & Calling - Or just LIFE. 😂 And don't feel like you have to make the question sound deep or spiritual. We really want Plain English Academy to become a place where we can talk about the things people are actually trying to figure out, not just the things Sonia and I feel like teaching. So help us out! If you could sit down with Sonia and me for an hour and ask us ONE question, what would you ask? Drop it below. 👇🏾 You might just see your question become one of our next conversations or classes.

LABOR DAY QUESTION: WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING? 👀
Since today is all about taking a break from our "Labor", I thought I’d give us something to think about. One of the things we talk about in Planted With Purpose is that leadership isn’t just about having a position. It’s about being faithful with whatever God has put in your hands right now. Sometimes we get so focused on where we believe God is taking us that we overlook what He’s developing in us through the work we’re doing today. That job you don't love. That ministry assignment nobody sees. That season where you're serving more than you're leading. That responsibility that feels completely unrelated to where you believe you're headed. I've learned that God has a funny way of using all of it. 😂 Joseph didn't know Potiphar's house was leadership training for a palace. David probably didn't realize taking care of sheep was preparing him to take care of a nation. This is why you've gotta be careful about calling a season insignificant just because you can't see where it leads yet. So here's my Labor Day question for you: What do you think God is developing in you through the work He's given you to do in this season? Patience? Discipline? Confidence? Leadership? Faith? People skills? Something else? Drop yours below. 👇🏾 And then go enjoy your Labor Day and STOP WORKING! 😂 Happy Labor Day, Family!
