We have a tremendous podcast for you today! Phil Smith and Kara Williams join us for our second episode in our Next Generation Leader series. They help us understand "Filling in the Gap."

Servant leaders love to fill in the gaps! Gaps can be simple like seeing a toilet that needs to be plunged or trash that needs to be picked up. More importantly, gaps can represent emotional needs in people’s lives! Join us today as we explore being a Next Generation Leader.
