26 <\/h5><em>Tarry with Me Awhile: Learnings from the Black Church<\/em>\n\t<p>Our 26th season of the <em>Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership<\/em> Podcast will be an ideal companion for Lent. We will be using Selina Stone&#8217;s book, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4jEJv9L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Tarry Awhile: Wisdom from Black Spirituality for People of Faith<\/em><\/a>, as a guide. Ruth will be joined by the author and Black leaders from within the <em>Transforming Community<\/em> to grasp a deeper understanding of waiting on God in the liminal spaces &#8211; where the resurrection feels far off, and our deaths and suffering are in the present. Black spirituality has much to offer us in understanding the concept of tarrying.

25 <\/h5><em>Advent 2024 (Cycle C)<\/em>\n\t<p>This season, as Advent falls on the heels of a contentious election season here in America and amidst the reality of war and violence around the world, we here at the Transforming Center wanted to approach the Advent podcast season with the awareness that many people are deeply in need of space and hope right now. TC staff member Charity McClure and ministry partner Jeff James will be walking listeners through Advent with the intention of broadening and deepening the practice and experience of silence as a way to hold that space. Using Enuma Okoro&#8217;s book &#8216;Silence and Other Surprising Invitations of Advent, which highlights the story of Elizabeth and Zachariah, for inspiration and wisdom, Charity and Jeff will be joined by guests as they explore themes of lament, barrenness, waiting, dependence on God, community, friendship, and hope.<\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\"

This season we are exploring the future of Christian spirituality. Based on her own experience and the lives of people she accompanies on the journey, Ruth has been naming what she is noticing and observing regarding the future of Christian <em>spirituality-<\/em>how the Spirit is moving and how we can align ourselves to participate in the future God is leading us into. Elements she is naming include respect for the role of desire; emphasis on spiritual direction; welcoming and inclusive; committed to justice; and more.<\/p>\n<p>This season Ruth will sit down with thoughtful Christian leaders to discuss their thoughts on one of these elements, as it has to do with the future of Christian spirituality.

to help people do the necessary inner work of knowing themselves and managing anxiety, triggers, and stuck patterns so that they can lead others well. This season, we are moving beyond the basics of describing each number type to look at our instincts and what motivates our behaviors. Special guest, Erin Baute, a leadership behavior strategist with over 20 years of experience in behavior change and professional development, joins us all season long to help us do this important

Anxiety Within Our Communities<\/em>\n\t<p>Welcome to Season 16, <em>Transforming Leadership: Managing Anxiety Within Our Communities.<\/em> This season we will be exploring Systems Theory, also called Family Systems Theory. Many of us have seen the troubling Barna research about the extreme levels of burnout pastors are experiencing right now. As we look at Systems theory, we will be examining how it relates to and can transform our lives in leadership. Ruth welcomes guest Steve Cuss, pastor and author of<em> Managing Leadership Anxiety, Yours and Theirs<\/em>, to help us unpack Systems Theory.<\/p>\n<p>Support the podcast!
