Summary: Special thanks to this episodes sponsor XP3 Curriculum from Orange: <a href="http://thinkorange.com/xp3s/" rel="noopener">http://thinkorange.com/xp3s/</a> and, as always, Give Central: <a href="http://givecentral.org" rel="noopener">http://givecentral.org</a> <br><br><br>When it came to introducing you to my friends, it only made sense to start with my wife Janelle Prenkert. It also only made sense to have the second guest by my mentor Terry Bley. Terry is the one who brought me on staff at my church and willingly moved to the side to allow me to grow in leadership. He currently serves as the Life Development Pastor at Nappanee Missionary Church where is has been on staff since 1992 (yeah he’s been on staff at a church longer than a lot of you have been alive). Get ready to hear a great story of another guy’s journey of longevity as well as be challenged to be a multiplier. Terry talks a lot about internships. If you want to connect more with him, you can find him on Facebook at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TerryLBley" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/TerryLBley</a> <br><br>THE BIG CONTEST DRAWING IS NEXT WEEK!
