Preparation for the next Blogathon are now underway!

The Art of Self Leadership Blogathon will be a chance for us to talk together about our need to lead self — while faithfully living out our call to lead others. As leaders, we often put our own needs aside in order to focus on those around us. But in order for us to be the effective, healthy, and durable leaders we desire to be, we need to be wise, intentional, and strategic with regard to how we manage our time, establish and protect different boundaries, approach our work, and faithfully live out our call to serve others.

This time will be a chance to explore new ideas and best practices as it relates to our service as faithful leaders, as well as to engage in online conversation about some of the challenges or struggles we face in this area of Self Leadership.

Over the course of this 3-day event [Oct. 23 – 25] we will have the chance to hear from a number of professionals in the college and campus ministry world – as well as others who have particular interest in, and/or insight into, the area of Self Leadership — in the form blog posts – and the dialogs that ensue.

This year’s contributors will include:

Ashlee Alley — Campus Minister at Southwestern College

Guy Chmieleski — University Minister at Belmont University

Ron Edmondson — Pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Lexington, KY

Joy Eggerichs— Director of Love & Respect NOW

JR. Forasteros — Teaching pastor at Beavercreek Nazarene in Dayton, OH

Tommy McGregor — Founder of TheTransMission, a ministry dedicated to helping students prepare for the spiritual transition to college.

Stephen Rankin — Chaplain and Minister to the University at Southern Methodist University.

Peter White — Minister to College and Young Adults at FUMC Tulsa, OK.
