Transforming Resources — bestselling books, podcasts, blogs, video courses, curriculum and more — are designed to provide ongoing guidance and support for your spiritual journey, equipping and empowering you to lead others.
The Podcast
The best thing you bring to leadership is your own transforming self.
The Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership podcast is a lively conversation about transforming leadership. Ruth Haley Barton helps us discover how to forge and maintain a live-giving connection with God in the crucible of ministry.
Stop settling for success at the risk of losing your soul.
For honest reflection about yourself as you really are and your life as it really is, take our free online assessment, How is it with Your Soul: An Assessment for Leaders. This kind of truth-telling and truth-seeing is a first step towards ensuring that you find your soul rather than lose your soul in the context of your life in leadership.
