Summary

If you’re familiar with the work of the Allender Center, you’ve probably heard us say: ““You cannot take anyone further than you have gone.”

Whether you’re in a leadership position at work, at church, or within your family, if you hope to lead and help others along their journey, you have to also embark on your own healing journey. This is not something you can observe from the sidelines and coach someone through without doing the work yourself.

So what’s involved in that healing process for leaders? What stops us from healing? And are we ever “done” healing?

Join Dan Allender, Rachael Clinton Chen, and Linda Royster as they continue their conversation around the need to heal to lead.

0:00.0	Thank you for listening to the Allender Center podcast.
0:06.7	I'm Dr. Dan Allender.
0:08.7	And I'm Rachel Clinton-Centen.
0:10.5	We're fiercely committed to providing hope and healing to a fragmented world.

0:48.7	welcome back to a conversation about, yeah, leadership sucks and then you die, but that's only if you take
0:57.3	the view from Ecclesiastes, Kohelet, underneath the sun. The reality is, yeah, it's very
1:04.2	difficult. And yes, there is resurrection. And so we actually believe we've got to look at leadership, not just from below the
1:14.0	sun, but above the sun. That is from the perspective that God holds with regard. We've talked
1:20.9	about the difficulties. But what we also hold as a premise is that the more of your own engagement with your life,
1:31.0	your story, your heartache, your trauma, the more you will be able not just to endure
1:39.1	and survive, but actually lead in a way that opens the door.
1:47.7	I love how you have spoken over many iterations about the connection between Shalom and flourishing.
1:52.2	So as we begin, I just want to open up the door
1:56.0	to invite the two of you to say,
1:59.2	what's involved?
2:01.7	What keeps us from healing?
