How do we become the kind of person who can listen rather than fix, and stand still being sad rather than rushing in with our own advice? In episode 3, we discover some great questions that can help us be better spiritual companions. Some great thoughts for leaders even if you don\u2019t use a toolbox! The episode ends with a beautiful prayer; we hope you can pull over to the side of the road, stop what you\u2019re doing, find a quiet spot and join us.<\/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\/cmgps-6d347a?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%3Dcmgps-6d347a&amp;domain=com&amp;btn-skin=107&amp;rtl=0\" 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-two\/\">Listen to other episodes from Season 2<\/a> <a class=\"button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/\">Access past podcast seasons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In this podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/in\/lifetogether\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Life Together in Christ: Experiencing Transformation in Community<\/em><\/a> by Ruth Haley Barton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/in\/lifetogether\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7877\" src=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/life-together-book-1024x250.png\" alt=\"Do you long to experience transformation in community?\" width=\"609\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/life-together-book-1024x250.png 1024w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/life-together-book-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/life-together-book-768x188.png 768w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/life-together-book.png 1210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing the story of the Emmaus Road, Jesus plays dumb and models what spiritual companionship can look like.
