A Listening Heart: The Core of Spiritual Leadership

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Tuesday 7/12/2022 at 4 PM ET

Spiritual leaders are not determined by a personality trait as much as by their ability to pay attention. These leaders are available and disciplined enough to see and hear with their heart. This is what allows a Christian to lead in ways that are truly enriching and transformational for those they serve.

This workshop will consider how Jesus modeled attending. We will explore why listening is central for every Christian and how learning to pay attention transforms the leader and the ways they lead.

LOCATION:
Online via ZOOM

DATE/TIME:
Thurs., July 14, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern Daylight Time)

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.
