Summary

Pete talks about the ancient practice of the Daily Office as one powerful means to carve out sufficient time to be with Jesus and to be with ourselves – out of which we go and offer our lives as a gift to the world. This is not a superficial being simply to stay functional but to a deep waiting on Jesus – a life with deep stillness and silence that serves to center our leadership. He also breaks down one of his morning prayer times as a sample (being fully aware that each of us needs to find our own way) and leads a short Daily Office.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Scuzera.
0:06.0	I want to welcome you today to the emotionally healthy leader podcast, and our title is the first priority of recovering, first priority of leadership.

0:55.3	what is really the first priority for leadership and actually the first measurement of success.
1:00.7	And because so many of us are trying to squeeze in so many things to do.
1:05.8	And as a result, just rushing.
1:07.8	There isn't the space to do everything that we've got on our to-do list and our goals so
1:12.5	again I'm calling this recovering the first priority of leadership because it's not it's not vision
1:17.6	which is what we tend to say it's you know get a vision that is that is number one or strategy

1:26.4	being B-E-I-N-G.
1:29.1	It's being in a few different ways.
1:32.2	It's being with Jesus, communion, relationship abiding in him.
1:36.1	It's waiting before the Lord.
1:39.1	It's in silence.
