Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership Podcast Show Notes

Season 12: Episode 2 | Into the Jungle: The False Self

Transforming Center|
Ruth and Steve begin the second episode defining terms – expanding on Mulholland’s definition of the false self. A lot of what is happenings in churches is superficial tinkering, and the reality is that not everyone in the church is on the same journey. The Bible doesn’t call it the narrow way for nothing. Steve and Ruth work their way through the basic attributes of the false self. The episode ends with a discussion of the role of community in wrestling with the false self because one is often choosing between good and good and Ruth’s reminder of the role of the spirit.
