In October 2001, my hero and husband, Sam, gave our resignations to Rockford First Assembly in Rockford, Illinois after 13 years of ministry. I'd seen my youth group grow from a handful of students, to over 1,000 strong. This message was recorded live on October 28, 2001, as I spoke to my leaders the same afternoon we publicly announced our resignation to the church.

In this Youth Leader's Coach, "One day you too will have an October 28th," you'll hear me share with my leaders ten things to look for to leave a season of life well. I also remind them, "It is not so much how you enter a season of your life but how you depart it that determines how you enter the next season in your life."

Lovingly,
