Why Is Emotional Maturity Lacking So Often in Genuine Christian Leaders?
Why Is Emotional Maturity Lacking So Often in Genuine Christian Leaders?

To flourish in our homes and in our ministries we must be spiritually deep and emotionally mature. So why is emotional maturity lacking so often in genuine Christian leaders? “He is a great preacher, and he loves Jesus, but I wouldn’t want to be his wife or his kids, or on his staff!” Our homes, churches, and ministries, often have way too much anger, insecurity, easily hurt feelings, issue avoidance, stubbornness, inability to bond, etc. The truth is I cannot be "spiritually mature" and emotionally immature. This webinar will help you understand and address why your own emotional maturity may be lagging behind your “spiritual maturity” and what to do about it.
