Description

Listening Prayer Practices, Spiritual Direction and Self Awareness can be game changers for busy Christ centered leaders who are exhausted from all of the hype and activity that seems to be required of them. Listeners will discover a whole new way of doing “leadership” as we converse with authors, experts, and practitioners who are on the journey of wholeness and spiritual wellness. Leaders will find authenticity and hope as we learn from people who have surrendered to the inner journey, have leaned into God’s love in deeper ways, and who make stillness, silence, and solitude a priority.
