Today, we have Ben Murray, lead pastor of Northville Christian sharing with us how he goes about learning while having to be the one in charge. There's always something new to learn.

How can you make sure to take care of yourself while leading others? Pastor Ben and Pastor Aaron delve into how to extract wisdom from past missteps, remain open to fresh perspectives, and allow your vision for the future to fuel your own development, all while effectively shepherding a church.

Today, we have Ben Vegh, Lead pastor of The Gateway Church, sharing with us on why Fine Arts for kids and students isn't just about showcasing talents, but giving them opportunities to minister through their giftings. Fine Arts is designed to celebrate the goodness of God through the talents He's given us. So why should Fine Arts be important to your church?

Today, we have Jim Riley, our Live Director for the Network talking with us about our resource on conducting funerals or memorial services. This is one of the hardest, but most honoring part of being a pastor. But what do you do when it's a community member outside of your church? How can you connect and minister to people that have gone through one of the hardest times of their lives when you don't know them well? How do you effectively prepare a memorial service that both honors and celebrates the deceased with a heart of gratitude that comforts those that are still here? This is a great episode for those that have not gone through a funeral planning yet or those that still find it difficult on them to prepare.

Today, we have Pastor Aaron Hlavin sharing his heart on finding thankfulness in all things. First of all, we are so grateful for you, the pastors and leaders in our amazing state. There are so many reasons for us to be thankful during this time, but it's easy to lose track of those reasons if we don't focus on them. The more we focus on our identity in Christ, not just our assignment, it becomes easier to find things to be grateful for. Thank you MMN pastors for all you do to serve your churches and the people in your communities.
