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 35 of the podcast.

My name is Carrie Newhoff and I hope our time together today helps you lead

like never before today's guest, a guy by the name of Clay Scroggins,

and if you just got back a couple weeks ago from the drive conference you will have

probably met Clay he is the campus pastor lead pastor of North Point Community

Church in Alpharetta Georgia to which many of you are going, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Andy Stanley is a lead pastor of North Point Community Church.

Well, yes, he's a senior pastor, but Clay is a campus pastor, and we're going to talk to Clay about leadership at a young age and he is very honest and very vulnerable about his own, you know, insecurities and struggles and some of his successes as well but he got foisted into senior

leadership when he was 30 and then a few months ago at age 34 got tapped on the

shoulder by Andy and said hey come on over to North Point Church and lead us full time.

So that's what Clay's doing.

And some of you, you are young leaders,

and you're just looking for other leaders to mentor you.

And we've already had a couple of conversations like this and part part of that is just because I'm just really passionate about young leadership and about passing the torch to the next generation and so if you listen to episode 17 with Josh Gagnon or John Stickle at episode 29, you heard a couple of other

leaders who were put into senior massive leadership responsibilities very young and how

they're struggling with it and coping with it and actually succeeding at it and we're going to add clay to that list today and clay is just a lot of fun too and if you've ever struggled with like you know do I have to become a different person to be a great leader?

Man, you're going to love Clay's interview today.

So some of you are young leaders. I hope it'll encourage you.
