Why is it important to find a place of Peaceful Presence in the face of a Chaotic World? Because we live in a world of “quick-fix leadership.” There is a need for  decisiveness and clarity while living in a world that inhibits decisiveness  and clarity. Peaceful Presence is needed for anyone who has questioned data over maturity, technique over stamina, and empathy over personal responsibility.

When you allow these opening statements to sink deep within your being, you will discover that your leadership will go cross-current with every other leader. True leadership is a form of suffering! There is a desperate need for modern leadership to understand their context that gives meaningful purpose to their work. Instead, we seem bent upon mimicking the successes of others without understanding if their ideas will make sense in our context. By default, success is now determined by how well we mimic another’s model for business and faith.

Consider these data points:•1-in-5 Pastors in America believe their community sees them as a trustworthy leader.•1-in-3 Pastors believe they are a trustworthy presence on political issues

Post-COVID, we are getting ready to face a tsunami of grief because of what COVID has done to our life rhythms. If our leadership is to become decisive, clear, built for stamina, and exemplifies personal responsibility we must become keenly aware of personal burn-out.  Psychologists say that you have 15% of control of your life you think you have! The question becomes; What life do you think that you have?

Consider the definition of “Burn-Out.”  Burn Out = High Responsibility + Low Control + Low Reward. In other words, you live with a “Holy Uncertainity.”
