The first term of leadership academy has been thoroughly jam packed with so much good stuff that it's hard to pick what to post on. But if I had to pick a highlight, it would a talk about "Matters of the heart" by Scott Robertson. This talk to me was just spot on, foundational, and so appropriately put near the beginning of the course. It helped me see the importance of tending to my heart, and encouraged me to do what I can so that what goes on in there is moving towards what's healthy.
One of the points made was around the awareness of and intentionality about what I allow or fill my mind with, as it influences what takes place in my heart. The challenge was to cultivate a habit of setting my mind on things that are "true, noble, right, pure...etc" as Philippians 4:8 puts it.
