THRIVING IN MINISTRY

SESSION TWO

God-Defined Awareness

“Self-awareness” and “emotional intelligence” are common phrases in many cultures today. But what would it look like for God to shape our awareness of ourselves, through his truth? In this session, Bill introduces five “EQ Pitfalls.” Then he re-shapes our spiritual maturity and resilience around knowing ourselves well, through our primary identity in Christ.

 

In this session:

  • Read: Genesis 1:26-18

  • Watch 15 minute video

  • Reflect
