Good news! You can build your emotional competence.
God designed our brains to run on the fuel of joy, and we have the ability to grow our capacity for joy as long as we live.
In this episode, we’re in Chapter Three: The Elevator in Your Brain where we look at Jesus Christ as a wonderful example of emotional competence and then unpack the four levels of the Joy Elevator. When these functions are working properly, everything else about how we operate goes more smoothly.
So, let us walk you through the Attachment Center, the Assessment Center, the Attunement Center, and the Action/Identity Center in your brain. How does it all flow together and lead to more emotional competence?
The goal of this series is to equip you to live and lead with more emotional intelligence and resilience on your walk with God.
The book Rare Leadership by Marcus Warner & Jim Wilder combines theology, brain science, and decades of counseling and consulting experience to equip you to cultivate maturity in yourself and others, develop strong group identity, keep relationships bigger than problems, and more! Over the course of this series, we’ll be unpacking the four habits of a rare leader: Remain relational. Act like yourself. Return to joy. Endure hardship well.
