One response to leadership failures is to conclude that leadership and power are just in essence unhealthy. However, we’re not called to throw out leadership or deny that we have power and authority, but to recognise, understand, and hold that power in healthier ways. Lisa combines both personal experience and professional wisdom as a psychologist and academic researching the impact of spiritual abuse and the misuse of power in spiritual contexts. She shares her learnings from the countless stories she has heard from those who have been impacted as we think about what healthy (and Biblical) power looks like, and how understanding this can help us reclaim healthy leadership and enable flourishing churches.
Lisa and Justin’s book is “Escaping the maze of spiritual abuse: Creating Healthy Christian Cultures.” (SPCK)
