Winner of Kidmin Leadership Books
Posted on 02. Jul, 2011 by Kenny.
Last week I posted that I was giving away a handful of books from Jim Wideman and his first Infuse group. In case you missed my post, you can read it here.
The first two people to tweet were:
- Ryan Morrison
- Jared Massey
Congrats guys. Thanks for getting the word out.
Secondly, I said I’d give out the remaining books via a randomized list. Several promoted the book as well as the upcoming Illuminate Conferences in Austin and Birmingham. So, the winners of the additional books are:
- Alex Miranda
- Braden Clark
- Virginia (I don’t know your last name)
Woo hoo. I’ll be in touch with all of you to get your books to you.
Below are the results of the randomized lists.… Read the rest

Kidmin Leadership
Posted on 29. Jun, 2011 by Kenny.
I must say, this is a smart kid… and I’m not just saying that because he’s mine. Check out what he’s reading. Yeah, you guessed it. It’s the newest book published by my friend and mentor Jim Wideman. It’s called Kidmin Leadership. Jim’s first Infuse group put this book together and I think it’s worth picking up a copy. Can you find better leadership books out there? Yup. But what’s so unique about this book is that it’s one of the very few books specific to leadership in Kidmin. Also, what I enjoyed even more was about how you picked up an learned concepts the Brother Jim has taught for years through the filter of experience from others who have put it into practice in their own ministries.… Read the rest

Jim Wideman’s Good Friday sale
Posted on 30. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
Last week I got this email from Jim Wideman. I thought I’d pass it along to you. Yesterday I shared how everyone needs a coach. Jim’s my coach and he could be your coach as well.
On Friday, April 2nd JWM is going to put on a sale like you have never seen before. I know that budgets have been cut and many of you have been hurt by the economic crisis in our country so I want to help. Back last year I cut the price of theClub in half for people over 30 and started giving it away free for those under 30.
For 1 day I’m going to cut the price of most of my resources including my 1 day Coaching/Seminars called “Day Trips”.

Everyone does better with a coach
Posted on 29. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
This is a simple truth I’ve learned over the past year. Everyone does do better with a coach. I’ve learned this through personal experience. I’ve just entered my second year of Infuse with Jim Wideman and he’s helping me be a better version of myself. There’s little debate over what Jim’s accomplished over the 30 years of ministry to kids. His track record is nothing short of amazing. However, I’ve picked up very few tips and tricks from him that I can apply in Children’s Ministry (although he’s been a great source of wisdom there). What I’ve picked up from Jim this last year is how to be a better leader, how to better redeem the time I have each day, and I can better serve my church.… Read the rest

Things I’ve learned from Jim Wideman (part 2)
Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
I’ve written a handful of posts this week about the influence Jim Wideman has had on my life. I got to spend a lot of time with him this year in Infuse and I’ve been sharing some of the big things I’ve learned. So here’s number two:
There’s plenty of time to do just about everything I want to do.
It sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it. One thing I’ve said often (and something I hear people say all the time) is, “I wish there were just a few more hours in the day.” It just seems like we can’t get it all done. There are a lot of things I’d like to do, I just don’t have time for all of it.… Read the rest

Things I’ve learned from Jim Wideman (part 1)
Posted on 03. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
This week you’ve seen I’ve been writing a lot about Brother Jim. A year ago he asked me to join Infuse, his year long mentoring program. I joined and it’s been a great year. There have been a lot of factors in my life that have caused growth, but Infuse has certainly been one of them. I’ve recently decided to do a second year of Infuse. I’ve enjoyed the connections I made with the others in my group who will be doing a second year and I look forward to spending another year growing from Jim in an even small group.
Let me share with you a few things I’ve learned from Brother Jim that have impacted me greatly. These aren’t necessarily things you’d only learn from Infuse as most of these concepts you’ll read in his books or hear him speak about.… Read the rest

Accountability from a skinny man works
Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
Okay, so I almost forgot to post this. Before I left for my road trip I asked Sam Luce to hold me accountable. I’m in the middle of my biggest loser competition with my staff and being on the road where I’m eating out for almost every meal would be tough. It’s during these occasions that I tend to over-indulge. So I asked Sam Luce to hold me to my commitment. In the end, my goal was to weigh less than I did when I began.
So, Sam was a gracious accountability partner. Maybe it was a dumb thing for me to ask him to do it, but he didn’t make a big deal out of it. Every now and again, he’d give me the evil eye when I was reaching for an extra cookie after dinner.… Read the rest

Help from a skinny man
Posted on 16. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
As I’ve shared in an earlier post, I’m three weeks in to a “Biggest Loser” competition with my staff. So far so good. Three weeks in and I’m officially 8 pounds lighter. We’ve got 9-10 weeks left to go, which is good as I still have 18 pounds to lose… minimum. I’ve been really disciplined with this competition. I’m very goal driven and have been known to get a little competitive from time to time. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll be a winner as I shed the pounds I’ve carelessly added over the years. As I wrote in a post a week ago, I’ve been using the iPhone App “Lose it!” It tracks the calories I consume as well as the calories I burn through exercise.… Read the rest
