Why You NEED to Join Jim Wideman’s NextGen Leader Lab

, , , , ,

Ministry Leadership is Tough—But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone!

Let’s be real: leading in kids, youth, or family ministry can feel like juggling flaming dodgeballs while riding a unicycle. (Sound familiar?) You’ve got volunteers to manage, parents to support, kids to engage, and let’s not even talk about planning that next big event!

Enter: Jim Wideman’s NextGen Leader Lab!

This isn’t just another leadership course where you take notes, get overwhelmed, and do nothing with it. This is hands-on, real-world coaching from one of the best in the biz—a guy who’s been in ministry for decades, made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and is now handing you the playbook for success.

✅ A Community That Gets You – No more feeling like you’re on an island! You’ll be surrounded by other NextGen leaders who totally understand your wins, struggles, and the endless search for enough goldfish crackers.

✅ Laugh While You Learn – Jim’s teaching is packed with wisdom, experience, and plenty of dad jokes—so come ready to grow and have fun!

✅ Take What You Learn & Actually Use It – You’ll walk away with actionable steps to make an immediate impact in your ministry (instead of another notebook full of good ideas that never happen).

There’s A Brand New Book Available

, , , , , , , , ,

What happens when you coach 12 of the sharpest Kidmin & NextGen leaders for 16 weeks that you’ve ever coached. YOU WRITE A BOOK! And that’s exactly what we did!

EVERYONE DOES BETTER WITH A COACH
Practical Solutions For Kidmin & NextGen Leaders is a brand new book from Jim Wideman Ministries.

Everyone can go farther and faster with someone coaching them than they can on their own. This is true in sports, it’s true in your health, it’s true in business and it’s also true in ministry.

I have always admired coaches. As a student of great teams in sports and ministry, I’ve been saying for years’Show me a successful team and I’ll show you a great coach.” I’ve also noticed truly great coaches have developed the skills to produce a winning team wherever they coach. Also they have learned how to assemble other great coaches around them. That’s exactly what I’ve done in EVERYONE DOES BETTER WITH A COACH- Practical Solutions For Kidmin & NextGen Leaders.

I’ve assembled some of the brightest and best coaches from my “Think Different Coaching Network. We identified some of the most common struggles that today’s Kidmin & NextGen leaders are facing and I asked each one to offer five solutions that you can do now to bring clarity and coaching to turn each challenge into an opportunity to improve. Each coach will also offer you a question to help guide you to taking your first step. Now you can get a team of coaches to help guide you to victory.
EVERYONE, YES EVERYONE DOES BETTER WITH A COACH.
When you order the paperback from me I’ll throw in the digital book free. Order yours today!

I Am Once Again Offering Group Coaching

Fifteen years ago I launched the original group coaching program for Children’s and Family Ministries leaders that I called “Infuse.” Hundreds of NextGen leaders took part in those groups. I then expanded it to Student Pastors, Associate Pastors, Executive Pastors & even Senior Pastors through individual private coaching sessions. After much prayer and the Lord’s direction it’s time to bring back Group Coaching but in a brand new format that I’m calling “THINK DIFFERENT GROUP COACHING” it’s for anyone in ministry leadership. Here’s what I’m thinking… 6- two hour online video sessions, 1 hour of teaching, 1 hour of questions over 12 weeks. There will be a private Facebook group for connection, homework, and additional assignments. Your fee also includes a Path Element Profile Personality Assessment and a digital copy of my book AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP THAT LASTS. (This will be our text ) The first group with launch FEBRUARY 2023 and will be limited to 25 leaders. For more details, questions, cost and to request an application please email me at jim@thinkdifferent.coach or you can also contact me at jimwideman.com.
