Summary

How do you lead when your own story is full of pain? What is the cost of control when it comes to ministry, leadership and marriage?For Ike and Sharon Hodde Miller, learning to navigate the difficulties in ministry these past few years since church planting and a pandemic has led to some insight into their own hearts. As an adult child of an alcoholic, Ike began to see the way his past was impacting his leadership. Sharon started to notice how her desire for control came at a cost to her soul and her relationships. Together, they have done the important work of healing their own wounds and stories while recognizing what they needed to let go of in order to be healthy leaders of Bright City Church in Durham, NC. In this honest conversation, Ike and Sharon talk with Aubrey about how to lead in a divisive climate, what happens when we reach for control as leaders, and the importance of boundaries in marriage when we lead together. Whether you're a leader in ministry, business or your home, this episode will encourage you to do the vital inner work to bring healing to your interior world so that you can lead out of health and wholeness.

0:00.0	Hey guys, I wanted to share something really cool with you. We've been launching our pain to
0:03.9	purpose course in churches all over the world now. And it's been amazing to see how people are
0:08.4	finding hope and healing in the midst of their trauma through this course being offered at their
0:14.3	local church. First of all, I just want to celebrate that. And secondly, I wanted to let you know
0:18.6	how you can partner with us to get the course launched at your church too. I know most of you
0:23.9	listening to this may not be a pastor or church leader, but chances are if you're not one, you
0:28.8	what you may not know is how overwhelming it can be for pastors to walk so many people through
0:33.2	pain and trauma in their church. In fact, most pastors that I speak with on a regular basis feel
0:38.6	pretty ill-equipped for the task of helping people navigate the difficult stories and tragedies
0:43.0	of their life. And many of their congregants are facing it in overwhelming numbers.
0:48.2	What we're passionate about here, nothing is wasted is helping churches feel equipped in engaging
0:53.2	pain and trauma, which we know will ultimately lead to transformation and healing for the people
0:58.6	in their congregation and for their churches a whole. So if you're a pastor, I want to invite you
1:02.5	to join me and our local church director, Ken Roberts, on a Zoom call that we hold twice a month
1:07.6	just for pastors and church leaders. If you know a pastor, I'd love for you to get this information
1:12.5	into their hands. This interactive Zoom call will give you the opportunity to hear from other
1:17.4	pastors how the pain to purpose course has positively impacted their churches. And we're going to give
1:22.8	you resources and tools that will lighten your load and the load of your church staff.
1:26.4	And we'll show you how we'd love to help you as you're helping the people within your congregation
1:31.2	heal. Because we're passionate about the same thing that you are. People moving through their pain
1:35.8	and stepping into mission in their local church and in your community. If you're not a pastor,
1:42.0	why not share this incredible opportunity with your pastor? Let your pastor know about this call
