In today's episode, we'll discover that it's in silence that we learn to pay attention to what God is birthing in and through us.

      ✅ How Healthy is Your Leadership? Take this short and free quiz to find out. // https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/leadership-assessment/   ----------------------------  The quality of the people who surround you will determine the success of your leadership. Because there is undeniable loneliness in leadership, it is ever more important that we evaluate our relationships on a regular basis.  Sadly, far too many pastors and leaders choose to go it alone, or surround themselves with foolish counsel (in the form of wrong relationships)  That's why in today's podcast, I explore the five types of relationships you need in your life in order to flourish as a leader or pastor.  Honestly, I wish I had this list 30 years ago. It would have saved me from confusion, foolish decision-making, and unnecessary isolation!      

5 Relationships Every Leader Needs to Flourish

 ✅ FREE EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT: In 15 Minutes, Discover How Emotionally Mature You Are  https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/mature  ----------------------------  In this episode, we explore a topic that's as old as leadership itself: the loneliness that often accompanies the role of leadership.  From the slowness of change to the weight of difficult decisions, from the sting of criticism to the ache of betrayal, leadership can often feel like a solitary journey. But we can take heart because all throughout the Scriptures leaders have grappled with this very same loneliness.   And yet, loneliness can become destructive when it turns into isolation.    In today's episode, I share 4 critical steps that leaders must take to navigate loneliness while remaining healthy and whole.  

The Loneliness of Leadership

Staying Steadfast Through the Fires of Leadership

A course won't change your church. Neither will a book, a podcast, or a sermon series.  So the question is, how do people truly change?  This is a question every pastor and leader needs to answer. Over the years of my pastoral ministry, and even today, one thing I've noticed is how often we UNDERESTIMATE the personal time, presence, and intentionality it takes to disciple people into transformation in Jesus.  True change is slow because it is relational. Change does not happen on an assembly line.  Over the past several weeks on the podcast, I've shared with you the importance of reclaiming a spacious life - one that is not rushed, crammed, or overscheduled. Many leaders are coming to understand this as it relates to their PERSONAL life and walk with God.  But today I want to share with you about creating spaciousness for OTHERS. I believe it's the secret ingredient our churches need to experience deep communal fruitfulness.
