  On today's bonus episode, we're taking a break from our summer series to tackle a crucial topic that our team has been focusing on and you should too.  On todays episode, Alan looks at this idea of income vs. impact and why paying attention to both is important as a leader. He gets super practical and discusses why certain seasons may call you to focus less on pursuing greater income for a time in order to invest into those you lead so that they have a greater impact in their roles, lives, and leadership which creates a healthier team, organization, and can lead to even more income.

I spend most of my time raising daughters, loving my wife, walking my dog, encouraging our staff, envisioning our people, and cooking for my neighbors on my Big Green Egg. I’m a regular guy who’s been captivated by a Redefining Church vision. I know where God has called me to go and stay; the neighborhood. I have the joy of leading alongside my bestie, Tommy Bowman. Check out his website to learn a whole lot more about what we mean by “redefining church”. Join me as I join Jesus on the greatest adventure of a lifetime..."next door as it is in Heaven".
