35:20 Share

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Shauna Pilgreen, author of Love Where You Live. During their conversation, they discuss the following questions:

	Why does it always seem like being sent is leaving where you are and going somewhere else?
	How have you and Ben helped your church learn how to live sent where they are?
	How do you resist the-grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side syndrome?
	What would you say to leaders who are trying to discern and decide whether to stay or to go?
	What would you tell your 20-year-old self about leadership?
	What does leadership look like in your home?

"Living sent is not just for a certain type of people. It is the great commission call."

"It's teaching people to live sent today, not preparing them to do it someday."

"We are already busy people, but we don't forget to put our shoes on. The same is true for living sent."

"Let's not waste our time salivating over the grass they have, but instead walk our streets, stay in our lane, and love our people."

"We have to learn to rest where we live."

"Why are you wanting to go? And is God the one sending you?"

"We are making a recommitment to the people of our city and to the people we are called to serve."
