0:00.0	Welcome to the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast. My name is Pete Scazzaro. Great to be with you today.
0:06.6	Our title today is 10 shortcuts, leaders slash pastors need to avoid part one. So for several weeks,
0:14.2	you know, I spent time crafting a list of the most common shortcuts that leaders take. And actually,
0:19.1	I ended up with a list about 24. And I, you know,
0:22.8	whittled it down into a blog and, you know, posted it a few months ago. But I said to myself,
0:28.6	it was just so inadequate because I wanted to spend some time actually exploring it. And so,
0:34.1	like J.R.R. Tolkien said many years ago, shortcuts make long delays. And so I know them well. I've done all these shortcuts and paid a price for them. So the way I wrote the blog was I actually picked the 10 top shortcuts that I take, or I have taken as a leader. But I did not include the ones that I think have deeply gotten in my life that I don't take any longer.
0:58.1	And actually, I explore those in the Emotionally Healthy Leader Book.
1:01.2	And if I was making a generic list for everybody, I would include the four inner life issues that I deal with in the Emotionally Healthy Leader book.
1:10.7	So, for example, shortcut people take, people often take is they don't face their shadow.
1:15.3	They have very low self-awareness because this takes too much time.
1:18.2	The secondly is not investing in one's marriage or singleness to be assigned in a wonder.
1:23.9	The second major shortcut people take.
1:26.5	The third is a way too busy to nurture one's relationship with Christ and doing more
1:32.5	activity for God than they're doing for God can sustain.
1:36.3	And then the fourth shortcut people take is often just not investing in a Sabbath rhythm
1:42.3	on a weekly basis, you know, a 24-hour period to stop, rest,
1:46.6	delight, and contemplate God. So I will leave that for you to, you know, read through in the
1:50.9	emotionally healthy leader book. And that's really the basis out of which that is built.
1:55.8	But the ones I'm going to pick here are related, but they're different. And they're more specific,
2:00.8	actually, in the 10.
2:02.6	So there's 10.
