Instead of starting with the biblical story (Moses) Steve dives in and turns the table on Ruth, asking her about her own calling and what it looks like right now. Steve and Ruth talk about the fatal question, and a great discussion proceeds out of understanding the difference between calling and vocation. Things heat up when Ruth and Steve discuss anger especially relevant in our current culture, and we end by looking at how to be in touch with our own limits as a leader. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/ahfxn-8636b2?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%3Dahfxn-8636b2&amp;domain=com&amp;btn-skin=107&amp;rtl=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/season-four\/\">Listen to other episodes from Season 4<\/a> <a class=\"button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/\">Access past podcast seasons<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<br \/>\nMentioned in this episode:<\/h2>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.transformingcenter.org\/collections\/frontpage\/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>\u00a0(Chapter 5)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/2018\/03\/expanded-edition-now-available-strengthen-soul-team\/\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8457\" src=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ssoyl-book-free-bonuses-1024x250.png\" alt=\"Strengthen the Soul of Your Team!\" width=\"609\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ssoyl-book-free-bonuses-1024x250.png 1024w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ssoyl-book-free-bonuses-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ssoyl-book-free-bonuses-768x188.png 768w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ssoyl-book-free-bonuses.png 1210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode begins a bit differently.
