October 11, 2021 • Loren and Carrie Pankratz • Episode 27

When you are working hard to fill other people's tanks, yours doesn't get filled. Leading on an empty tank is no good. It can be harmful to both your church plant and to your marriage. In this episode, Loren and Carrie talk about the importance of attending events that you are not in charge of leading. There are many options out there. Here are a few that Loren and Carrie mentioned in this podcast.
A Weekend to Remember
Love and Respect
Hume Lake Christian Camps
Any conferences you are invited to through your network (Converge Worldwide has a ton)
Husband in Pursuit and Wife in Pursuit by Ryan and Selena Frederick

Loren and Carrie also talk about the importance of making time for each other and doing non-church-related things together.
