Strengthening The Soul Of Your Leadership With Ruth Haley Barton

What is it about leaders that we seem to struggle so much with the temptation to take matters into our own hands and “help” God out when we distrust His plans or when we are impatient with His timing? And what is our transformational moment when we realize we’ve been pushing our own agenda and trying to take back control? This week Ruth and Steve discuss this temptation to impose our own will onto God’s will and the opportunity Lent provides to practice letting go of our own plans and surrendering to God’s will deep within.    Lectionary readings for the second Sunday of Lent, Cycle C: Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18  • Psalm 27  •  Philippians 3:17-4:1  •  Luke 13:31-35 or Luke 9:28-36, (37-43a)   Music Credit: Kingdom Come by Aaron Niequist Prayer for Healing from Lent Music In Solitude   Mentioned in the episode: The Human Condition by Thomas Keating Iona Abbey Worship Book   Support the podcast!
