In case you are wondering, self-examination is so much more than just asking God to show us our sin. In this rich discussion straight out of Psalm 139, Ruth provides a clear definition of true self and false self and deals with the unsettling truth that most leaders are hired for their false-self strategies. Along with touching on the Enneagram, Ruth shares her own story of wondering if she was falling off the spiritual path only to discovering that this was in fact the spiritual journey. Listen to episode 6 of Season 1: <em>Sacred Rhythms in the Life of the Leader<\/em> for a glimpse of what the journey of faith really is \u2014 because you can\u2019t have a faith journey without faith.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/strengthening-soul-your-leadership-ruth-haley-barton\/id1214483830\"><i class=\"fa fa-apple\" style=\"font-size: 150%;\"><\/i> Subscribe on iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/mq9h6-688a10?from=shortcode&amp;width=100%25&amp;height=100&amp;share=1&amp;fonts=Helvetica&amp;auto=0&amp;download=0&amp;skin=1&amp;resource=episode%3Dmq9h6-688a10&amp;domain=com\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/season-one\/\">Listen to other episodes from Season 1<\/a> <a class=\"button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/\">Access more podcast seasons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digging Deeper into this topic: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.transformingcenter.org\/collections\/all\/products\/sacred-rhythms-arranging-our-lives-for-spiritual-transformation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Sacred Rhythms<\/em>,<\/a> Ruth Haley Barton<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.transformingcenter.org\/collections\/all\/products\/invitation-to-solitude-and-silence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Invitation to Solitude and Silence<\/em><\/a>, Ruth Haley Barton<\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.transformingcenter.org\/collections\/all\/products\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-seeking-god-in-the-crucible-of-ministry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strengthening the Soul of your Leadership<\/a><\/em>, Ruth Haley Barton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/in\/transforming-resources\/ssoyl.shtml\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7490\" src=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SSYOL-book-for-leaders-soul-3.png\" alt=\"The book for leaders who want make sure they don't lose track of their own soul.\" width=\"610\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SSYOL-book-for-leaders-soul-3.png 1210w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SSYOL-book-for-leaders-soul-3-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SSYOL-book-for-leaders-soul-3-768x188.png 768w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SSYOL-book-for-leaders-soul-3-1024x250.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This podcast kicks off with a discussion of the ancient practice of the Examen.
