Vulnerability is a concept that is talked about a lot in leadership and church. It is expressed as a trait that can be helpful in building deeper relationships. It is very admirable when we see other people embody it. So if we relatively know it’s a good trait, why are we so scared to pursue it? Why do we not like showing our true colors? What does shame have to do with vulnerability? Where is there freedom in vulnerability? There is great power in this 13-letter word, which is why licensed counselor Todd Henley has joined us today to talk about the Power of Vulnerability.

There is a need for every single one of us to be a critical thinker; to engage our world in a way that is intentional, intellectual, and investigative. Critically thinking is the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate an issue in order to form a judgement. But what in the world is Critical Consciousness? Is this a necessary form of thinking in our culture and in our leadership? What is its role in the Christian space? What’s the difference between a biblical worldview and secular worldview in this conversation? Joining to help critically unpack this topic is educator Meghan Atwell.

It’s one thing to say you have the strength to overcome difficulty, it’s a completely different thing to actually overcome and come out stronger amidst adversity. When the bottom of life falls out from under us, we find out what kind of stuff we are truly made of. How do we deal with the plethora of emotions and the multiple negative ways we can respond to adversity? Is there a difference between self-inflicted and life-inflicted adversity? How do we grow as leaders through difficulty and how do we help others through adversity without being insensitive? It’s topics like this where it is advantageous to have someone speak through their firsthand experience of adversity to give us needed perspective and to learn from their story. Lean in and listen to Lindsay Felker share her adverse journey through encephalitis.
