We’re nearing the end of our season on Systems Theory and leadership anxiety! In this last episode with Ruth and Steve together, the two give really practical help with concrete tools that can help diffuse anxiety. These tools range from personal to relational, and they are rooted in deep care for the soul of the leader. Finally Ruth and Steve discuss how Systems Theory informs and aids transformational leadership. Next week, Ruth will wrap up the season with one final solo episode of closing thoughts and wisdom on this important topic.

I cannot begin to tell you how meaningful this series has been to me. The timing is God’s alone. I’m so thankful for the way that Steve and Ruth are integrating The spiritual and psychological aspects of noticing and facing and then walking through anxiety. I’m beginning to think anxiety is like terror. They are wielded by the enemy to destroy us by focusing all of our energy and intention away from the God who loves us.
