John Eldredge is back for our third conversation together. We talk about his latest book, Experience Jesus Really, and how to find refuge in the summer and restore the strength of your leadership.
What I learned from John in our conversation:
- Why praying over your vacation is essential and how to invite others to pray with you in all seasons of life.
- God created us to enjoy life now, and how to pull away from being discipled by the internet.
- You cannot trust a vacation to restore of provide refuge for your soul.
- Your organization may flourish more with a four-day work week. Root your team in a "vine and branch" organization who have a real life in God.
- As the leader of a team, learn what triggers you and then invite Christ into those parts and receive his care and compassion.
- If you are facing a complex leadership decision, learn to invite Jesus into that place of fear or risk aversion and ask Jesus to heal your soul.
- The pressure of leadership will reveal the unhealthy places that Jesus wants more access to you in the journey of becoming a wholehearted leader.
- Leadership is lonely. Pay attention to addictions, even if the addiction is chocolate. God may be inviting you to find refuge in him from your leadership irritations.
- Learn to receive from God care, love, and leadership. Your position of receiving will open you back up to love. Receiving is about being loved. You are loved.
