Wow.    Beginning places are important. Your starting point as a leader is important. But so is the journey. Pausing to take stock of where you\u2019ve been and where you\u2019re going is an important part of being a Christ-centered leader.    It seems like another lifetime that Tim & I sat in the District Offices in Dublin, Ohio with sound pads all around us recording the first episode on my old Apple laptop. While the District Offices have now moved, we\u2019ve both taken on different or additional roles, and we no longer record the episodes in person (we didn\u2019t do it for long), the podcast is going strong at Episode 200!    As I (Sara) write this, I\u2019m not sure I thought we\u2019d stick with it for 3.5 years, let alone get to Episode 200. If you\u2019ve watched anyone or anything grow, you know the feeling!  But, here we are: \u201cWe Should Do a Podcast About That\u201d comes at a great time when we\u2019re exploring the importance of history and context in leadership.    There are a couple of new things in this episode. One at the beginning and one at the end. You\u2019ll pick up on them as you listen to \u201cWe Should Do A Podcast About That\u201d   As you listen to Episode 200 you\u2019ll hear the lessons we\u2019ve learned about ourselves as leaders, the things that tripped us up, and a few defining moments in the past 3 years.    We share our journey as a way of inviting you into a time of reflection on your own leadership and growth over the past three years. You\u2019ll hear plenty of laughter and poking fun.    But most of all, you\u2019ll hear appreciation. Appreciation for you, our listeners. Appreciation for our guests. Appreciation for the journey we\u2019ve been on over the three years of recording episodes.    Thank you for being on this journey with us. For reflecting on ideas, insights, and continuing to grow as a Christ-centered leader. Soon, we\u2019ll have something we hope you\u2019ll join us for in 2022. We thought it might be ready to be shared when episode 200 dropped, but it\u2019s not. So hang tight for just a couple more weeks as we put the final touches on an invitation for 2022.    Explore the episodes from 2021 here.   Finally, if you\u2019re wondering the technical parts of podcasting, here\u2019s a download of the gear, programs, and resources we use if you might be interested in launching your own podcast.    I\u2019ll tell you this: it\u2019s A LOT of work. Pastors, I compare it to writing a sermon every week.   Review on Apple Podcasts Our Favorite Podcasts Then & Now Rob Bell - Rob Cast  Read to Lead Donald Miller Brene Brown - On Spotify ONLY John Meachum Jim Day Podcast  This Cultural Moment The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill   Write It Down\/Talk it Out What new things have you done as a leader in the last three years? How do new ideas take shape for you and become a reality? What pivots do you need to make right now in leadership? Maybe another question is what have you learned from the mistakes?  What did you learn about yourself as a leader when the pandemic hit and what are you learning about yourself as a leader now?   ","author_name":"Transforming Mission Podcast with Tim Bias & Sara Thomas","author_url":"https:\/\/transformingmission.org\/","html":"
