0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Gazzara. I want to welcome you today to the emotionally healthy leader
0:06.6	podcast. Great to be with you. And our title is Why Leaders Need More Than a Quiet Time, Part Two.
0:12.3	Why Leaders Need More Than a Quiet Time Part Two. Actually, I did a part one on this June 2nd,
0:17.8	about eight weeks ago. But then when the murder of George Floyd happened here in the United
0:23.2	States, I sensed the urgency to address the issues of racism, Black Lives Matter, from a
0:30.9	biblical perspective. And so I did a number of podcasts in these recent weeks on everything from
0:35.2	generational racism and why we need to learn to grieve
0:38.7	if we're going to address racism effectively, a biblical vision for multiracial churches.
0:45.3	I did a couple of messages. I posted up here on God's Revelation from scripture that birth

1:22.8	devotions to transformative devotions so that we can, in a sense sense that we offer those we serve and those around
1:31.2	us with a gift and that's a gift of hidden fruitfulness it comes out of the depth of our beings so again
1:40.0	my history and i came to christ through a parochurch movement in the early days I learned all
1:45.4	about quiet time and I was very disciplined. I actually never found quiet time to be a yoke.
1:50.4	I actually loved it. But it was a heavy emphasis on learning, reading the Bible, studying the Bible,
1:56.3	heavy on intercession and fasting. Again, the theology of God is not going to move unless we pray,
2:03.6	and to lots of intercessory prayer meetings,
