What does our family of origin or our nuclear family have to do with how we lead?

In this episode, we explore that question as we discuss the third section of our book entitled Family Patterns.

The process of researching, studying, and writing the book The Leader's Journey changed the trajectory of our lives. In this series, we are joined by our co-author Dr. Robert Creech and together we'll be going over some key ideas from the book and the impact those ideas have had and are having on our lives.

Conversation overview:

• What do you consider to be a connection between your own call to ministry and the family you came from?
• What is the value of a family diagram?
• How does working on our emotional maturity within our family system impact us outside of our family system?
