The Spiritually Healthy Leader (Conversation with Dave Wiedis)
What are you most passionate about? Most Christians would respond by saying something like "loving Jesus" or "doing God's work." These are genuine expressions of devotion and warm Abba's heart. Yet it's true that all of us have hidden ruling passions (like loneliness, control, etc.) that can become the primary drivers of our motivation. Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill talks with Dave Wiedis — founder of Serving Leaders Ministries and author of the new book The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage. You'll learn how to grow in self-awareness and abandon yourself to God's care so that King Jesus becomes the supreme ruler of your heart and life.
