In this episode, Dwight Habermehl speaks with Dr. Cheryl Ann Beals about the importance of soul care for Christian leaders. They explore how soul care—unlike self-care—is rooted in relationship with God and is essential for spiritual growth and lasting impact.
They discuss common challenges like distraction, drivenness, and unprocessed wounds that can disconnect leaders from God, as well as key warning signs such as burnout and loss of awareness.
The conversation emphasizes the need for intentional time with God, supportive community, and practices like spiritual direction to stay grounded. Ultimately, healthy leadership flows from being with God, not just doing for Him.
