The Leaders Journey is a training on leadership health.
It deals with connection, attachment, family of origin issues, brokenness in your life and how that hampers your leadership, how to find wholeness in Christ so you can help others find wholeness in Christ.
It is incredibly helpful and incredibly exhausting emotionally.
Sometimes I feel like the Christian walk is 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards.
Meaning, the more I grow closer to Christ, the more light shines on places I still hold on to or sin patterns I want to fall back into.
In God’s providence, I’m talking about dealing with shame, guilt and regret this week from Romans 10.
I’m blown away by how much those things shape people and how much we won’t let go of them.
Even if we want to.
One of the things I’m excited about is between now and the next leaders journey session, there are a lot of exercises and readings I’m supposed to do around prayer.
Prayer is something I always want to get better at, but always seem to fail at.
So I’m excited for that much needed kick in the pants on that.
Yesterday, we got to spend the day walking through Acts 29’s new assessment process and being trained to be assessors.
I’m really excited for the changes our network is making in this area.
I think it will help a lot of potential planters either hold off on planting (never a bad thing) and help those who should plant be more ready for the road ahead.
I’m doing a crossfit competition on Saturday at the box we go to.
I’ve never actually done one of those before, so we’ll see how it goes.
Of course, the first lift has to be a snatch ladder, one of my weakest lifts. Followed by a chipper, so I can redeem myself on that.
I’m hopeful that it’s a fun time, regardless.
I often get asked what books or podcasts my team is listening to or reading.
