Synopsis

Do you struggle with feeling like an impostor in your own leadership? Do you carry a secret anxiety about being revealed as a fraud?
 
We all long to belong, especially those in positions of leadership. But deeply rooted shame can keep leaders from connecting authentically and vulnerably. Reverend Will van der Hart and Dr. Rob Waller—an experienced church leader and respected psychiatrist—integrate the story of Scripture with the science behind mental health, offering real steps for transformation. When leaders know that they belong to God—when they develop a deep sense of security in Him—they can overcome constricting shame and lead with confidence.
 
Offering a psychological and biblical response to one of the most persistent problems in leadership, The Power of Belonging is a unique resource to help you build success from your sense of security, allowing your unique leadership gifts to flourish and grow.

Each chapter includes study guide questions for group or individual use.

Great to hear different perspectives of what leadership looks like to these two authors. I could identify with some of the ideas they put forward such as feeling a bit like a fraud sometimes, or the rejection we might feel when in a community that isn't your own. It also gave good tips to bring your......more

Goodreads review by Jason

This is primarily the application of psychology to pastoral ministry, awkwardly stretched over the structure of a biblical narrative. A valid and important point. Some good insights. And basically a Christian approach. But a consistently forced handling of the Moses story.......more

A really good book. As a leader in education there was much that was applicable to me even though I can tell it was pitched at leaders of churches. A good tool I will come back to.......more
