Summary

✅ [FREE E-BOOK] LeaderSHIFT: 8 Pivotal Breakthroughs of Emotionally Healthy Leaders https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/leadershift

---------------------------

Loss, change, and transition are all around us.

Yet, one of the lesser-known practices of emotionally healthy leadership is learning how to let go and transition from one season to the next. Throughout our lives there are countless endings and new beginnings that invite us to pay attention:

Closing a chapter of life, Leaving one church and joining a new one, Starting a new job or role, Moving away or into a new home, Changing relationships, Succession and release of leadership

In every transition, there are gifts waiting to be discovered if we are able to slow down and reflect in gratitude. When we rush through transitions, giving little thought to what is happening, we actually miss out on the hidden ways God is trying to come to us.

In this podcast, I explore this theme further and share insights on how we can navigate transitions well.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Scuzero. I want to welcome you today to the emotionally healthy leader
0:07.7	podcast. Our theme, our title today is how to transition well from endings into new beginnings.
0:15.6	How to transition well. Gigantic topic. Few of us do it well. And yet transitions are letting go. So the old
0:24.5	can birth, the new is a critical discipleship issue for every follower of Jesus. But it's actually
0:31.0	a very critical issue for every leader in Jesus Church. And we've got to master it well,
0:36.3	capture the nuances of it, uh, because it is so
0:39.1	large, touching on so many other issues of our relationship with God. And so it's critical we
0:43.6	learn this. And actually the world around us and the people we serve really need us to learn this
0:47.9	as well so we can serve them. So now the reason, uh, for today's topic of transitioning well is
0:53.6	I've been writing and thinking about this for actually decades, almost 30 years.
1:00.0	But I've been experiencing a deepening, a nuanceing, and enlarging additional insights around the topic as I'm in the midst of two large transitions myself. The first is I am actually
1:13.3	moving from Queens after 40 years of living here, 30 years in one house in particular,
1:20.4	and then secondly, the transitioning going on within emotionally healthy discipleship as a global
1:26.5	ministry.
1:29.8	Both are incredibly significant.
1:36.2	And again, God has been meeting me in such rich ways that I said, wow, this merits a podcast,
1:39.9	especially as I am in the midst of both of them. So the word I want to leave you with, and I want you to capture and hold on to is the word savor.
1:46.4	S-A-V-O-R.
1:48.6	It actually means to taste, like tasting good food or good drink.
1:53.7	And enjoying it completely.
1:55.8	That's dictionary definition.
1:57.1	It's like it's enjoying a food or an experience slowly in order to enjoy it as much
