Incarnational Listening
In this week's episode, we are chatting with Nicholas Amato about the idea of Incarnational Listening. Simply put, incarnationally listening is listening with the heart of Jesus. Listening this way means we avoid judging, reacting, or sharing our own related stories. We seek to understand, we reflect back what we hear. If we are to be fully devoted followers of Jesus, loving others is a top priority, and listening to others is a way to love them well.

Exploring Emotions
In this episode, we are talking to Daniel Miller about exploring emotions that might be holding us back in our leadership. Emotional Intelligence involves looking into how we are feeling and evaluating how those feelings predict our behavior. Jesus had a full sense of exactly who he was. If we are to be fully devoted followers of Jesus, then we also want to know how we are as a whole person - which includes knowing our emotional health. This practice will give us the courage to live out God's plan for us.
