Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!
Today we are continuing the conversation with my good friend, Lauren Espy. I recorded this conversation with her a couple weeks ago, and since we spoke I have been so excited to share it with all of you.
Lauren serves as the Director of Staff at Gwinnett Church, a campus of North Point Ministries. She has been on staff for 15 years and a part of the church since the very beginning. She received her masters from Dallas Theological Seminary and has always had a passion to serve in the local church. She and her husband, Stuart, reside in Atlanta with their three boys!
Today we discuss so many things such as infertility, being a woman in a high level of leadership, and soul care practices that are so valuable.

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!
Today we are BACK after a two week Sabbath from the podcast to bring you another 6 episodes that we think will help you reach your personal and professional goals without losing your soul.
My guest today is my good friend, Lauren Espy. I recorded this conversation with her a couple weeks ago, and since we spoke I have been so excited to share it with all of you.

G'day Everyone!
Here we want to help you reach your personal and professional goals without losing your soul. Our goal is to have the next generation of leaders reach their goals and at the same time say, "it is well with my soul."
You may have heard us talk about Sabbath once or twice here on Perko's Podcast...and as you may have seen already, we take a break every 6 episodes to take a Sabbath from the podcast in addition to our weekly Sabbath to prepare for the next 6 episodes.
We still wanted to be with you this week and provide you with some helpful content that we hope will help you care for your soul even better. If you missed our first bonus episode about Sabbath, make sure to check that out. The episode today was pre-recorded from a message series I did about How To Live Like Jesus, and it is all about slowing down.
I like to say now, "Life's not a race, so live at a slower pace."
We hope you enjoy today's episode!

We still wanted to be with you this week and provide you with some helpful content that we hope will help you care for your soul even better. It's ironic that we are taking a Sabbath this week from the podcast and our first bonus episode is actually about Sabbath! In this previously recorded message, Jason shared practically about how to carve out time each week to rest, rejuvenate and recharge.
We hope you enjoy today's episode.

Today's guest is Tim Hanna. Tim has spent 30 years in local church ministry in Australia, leading local churches in a number of states as well as lecturing at Theological College and in the church leadership space with Willow Creek Australia. His last 10 years have been as CEO of Compassion Australia. i recently had the privilege of getting together for coffee with Tim and I am excited to share his wisdom from years of ministry with all of you.
In part one of our conversation, Tim tells his story and we discuss how important it is to know your "why". We also discuss finding our calling and how to invest in the organizations you are a part of, as well as your family. In part two, we discuss soul care practices that I think you will find helpful as well as the importance of relational deposits and investment into your family over time.

Today's podcast guest is my friend Glenn Packiam that I had the pleasure of getting to know during my time in Colorado Springs. Glenn Packiam is the Associate Senior Pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the Lead Pastor of one of its congregations, New Life Downtown. He is the author of six books, including his forthcoming release, “Worship and the World to Come” and his most recent release, “Blessed Broken Given: How Your Story Becomes Sacred in the Hands of Jesus”. Glenn earned a Doctorate in Theology and Ministry from Durham University, and is a Visiting Fellow at St. John’s College at Durham and an adjunct professor at Denver Seminary. Glenn was one of the founding worship leaders for the Desperation Band and has written over 65 worship songs published with Integrity Music, including “Your Name" (co-written with Paul Baloche) and "My Savior Lives" (co-written with Jon Egan). Glenn and his wife Holly and their four kids enjoy life in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado.
In part one of this episode, Glenn shared some insights into how he has reached so many of his goals by maximizing little windows of time throughout his day, like waiting in his car or an hour before he goes to bed. We also discuss church unity, the reality that being productive means also having the right team of people around you, and how worship impacts others. If you haven't had a change to listen to part one, make sure to do that.
In today's episode, Glenn gives some insight into his message preparation/evaluation process, how to live out your faith in a modern world, and some key soul care practices that you won't want to miss.
Glenn's newest book comes out on July 28th, Worship and the World to Come: Exploring Christian Hope in Contemporary Worship. You can pre-order it here:
