Show Notes

How can we be intentional about noticing and imitating people with maturity skills we need to strengthen? How do we “practice the presence of God”? What’s the difference between an Identity Group and an Accountability Group?

This episode looks at Chapter Six “Where You Start: Imitation, Identity, Intimacy” and builds the framework we’ll use for the rest of the series to put what we’re learning into practice. We’re talking about mirror neurons, intimacy with God, heart-focused communities, and more!

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.
