    FFS 456: LEADERSHIP IDEA: Closure

    This is the final episode! Instead of 4, 5, or 6 minutes, this grand finale a little longer! We are slowing down with this one and taking time to close out this entire podcast! Imagine gathering around the campfire with Sean, Dayna, Makenna, Chris, Jaime, and Patrick as they look back over their many years of doing preteen ministry together and recording episodes of this podcast. Closure is so important with preteens, and today, we're going to have some of our closure as we put a big ol' bow on the great ideas podcast.

    FFS455 LEADERSHIP CONCEPT: Reflect and Rejoice

    We're almost to the end of this podcast. From the beginning, the goal was 456 episodes. 9.5 years later, we've made it! Just like anything we do in ministry, it's might be easy to just hit publish on the last episode and simply move on to the next task. BUT TODAY, Sean encourages us to pause for a moment at the end of anything we accomplish for God's Kingdom. And in the pause, take time to reflect and rejoice BEFORE rushing on to the next thing. God is good. Let's pause to celebrate what he's doing in our lives and ministries each time we finish a small or big project.
