Episode 111: Nathaniel Smith

Todd sits down with FILO 2024 main session speaker, Trey McKnight. Leaning on Trey's diverse experience, they discussed all the different ways that having a personal mission statement and being intentional with the time we have can help create the life we're wanting. Show Notes:FILO 2024 - The next price jump happens tomorrow, February 13, 2024! Don't delay! Tickets are available for the In-Person experience or the Live Stream experience. Learn more at filo.org/filo2024 and be sure to use code "podcast10" for 10% off your registration fee. First In Last Out... Together - FILO exists to encourage and support technical artists who create moments that connect people to Jesus, no matter where they are in the world or how big or small their church is. This means some of our friends in under-resourced communities can only afford to attend FILO for roughly $6. Unfortunately, revenue generated from the conference is simply no longer enough to fill the gap and reach more people. This is where you come in! Will you join us? FILO.org/donateMxU Pop-Ups - Check out these one-day events designed to equip you with leadership training and an opportunity to engage with other worship and tech leaders in your city. Todd will be at a few of the stops and he'd love to see you there! Learn more at getmxu.com/pop-ups.Subscribe to the FILO Podcast: Never miss an episode!
