1. Strengthening The Soul Of Your Leadership
Seeking God in the Crucible of Ministry
An invitation to reimagine leadership as the overflow of a well-tended soul, it traces the journey of Moses to show how solitude, silence, and honest self-examination shape calling and character. It addresses the dangers of drivenness and burnout, commending rhythms of Sabbath, prayer, and discernment that nurture resilience, clarity, and compassion. With practical guidance for personal and communal practices—especially corporate discernment—it offers a path toward leading from a grounded, transformed inner life.
