One of the highlights of the 2012 Exponential Conference for me was the opportunity to interivew the Bill & Lynne Hybels family. When we made the request that we interview the Hybels family I thought it would be good, but I underestimated just how good. Bill, Lynne, Todd and Shauna each talk with great candor about the good, the bad and how to not just survive but thrive as a family. I would love for every church planter who has a family to listen to this interview. There is so much to learn. As an aside I also found it interesting that after we finished the interview Bill told me, "Dave, this is a first for our family. We have never been on stage together before." They should do it more often. Watch the whole interview, you won't regret it.

Thanks for posting this! I had "heard" about this interview and was looking forward to hearing it on audio - what a treat to get to "see" it on video as well!
Thanks to the Hybels family for sharing and doing the 'hard work' to be an example!

You are more than welcome, Stan. I thought the whole interview was a real encouragement to any young church planter that it is possible to lead both your family and your church well.

Right on! We need to sacrifice ouvrelses, our wants, and ambitions to serve Him and advance His purpose forward. From the conference I attended last week that takes RISK. It's scary however if we:R have a Right view of God, then our I our Identity is settled, and we will .S have a Sacrifical mentality .K resulting in Kingdom advance!We all need to live a life of RISK. It's hard, scary, it takes real risks, but it is so worth it!
