Welcome to the Carrie Newhoff Leadership Podcast. A podcast all about leadership, change and personal growth.

The goal, to help you lead like never before.

In your church or in your business.

And now your host, Carrie Newhoff.

Well, hey everybody and welcome to episode four of the podcast. My name is Carrie Newhoff you guys are just so awesome and can I just start by saying that?

Thanks so much for tuning in today.

Thank you so much for all the feedback on this podcast. I mean we're just starting out and you guys have

been so generous. I want to thank all of you really. A lot of you have sent encouraging notes.

You've left some amazing reviews on the iTunes store. So like I live in Canada

just north of Toronto and I always get the Canadian iTunes store and there's some great reviews in the

Canadian iTunes store and I could always see that there were like 70 in the US store, but only a few days ago did I figure out how to actually get into the US iTunes store from Canada to read what you've written and man you guys it was so humbling as you've been amazing so thank you so much that's been so encouraging and

Hey, I would love to meet some of you personally if you guys want to connect in the next few weeks before we sort of get to today's guest and where we're going today. I'm going to be at the Orange Tour in Washington, D.C. and in Indianapolis in the next few

weeks and I'll be doing some keynotes, some breakouts and also hosting a lunch for leaders.

So that's where we get to connect sort of up close and personal.

You can just go to orange tour.org if you want more information, but hey, you're making this amazing and I just wanted to say thank you.

And also if now we, you know, we don't really have a library but this is the fourth episode

And that's what I want to do over the next few years is build up a really strong library of

Leadership Conversations that hopefully help you lead like never before and

your team lead like never before and I'm just so amazed at how generous people have

been today's guest Kara Powell I think you'll agree. Such an incredible interview and I mean combining the best of academics and also just speaking passionately as mom and as a church leader.

She's gonna talk all about why kids leave church.

Why do young adults kind of walk away, drift away.
