Watch Recordings for our 2026 Nexus Conference
There is a burden that comes with leadership - budgets, deadlines, conflicts, misunderstandings, competing priorities, new directions, personnel issues, communication miscues, and the list goes on and on. In the midst of the onslaught of demands, it can seem impossible to prioritize your own needs.
How can someone lead like Jesus and maintain their calling without becoming a casualty of the chaos?
For our 2026 Nexus Ministry Leadership Conference, we explored what it means to be a Christ-centered, others-focused leader while still caring for our soul.
Our keynote speaker was Dr. Barry Jones, senior pastor of Irving Bible Church and author of Dwell: Life with God for the World. Dr. Jones is a former professor of spiritual formation and pastoral theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. His background provides a unique perspective of someone who has both studied deeply the concepts of spiritual health and well-being while practically living out these concepts within in the local church.
