GCORR book study - Tempered Resilience by Tod Bolsinger
The General Commission on Religion and Race remains committed to supporting and resourcing the Church in its journey of dismantling racism. To this end, they are launching a series of book study guides that correspond with books based on themes ranging from equity and ministry sustainability to how to fight racism.
The first book study guide is on Tempered Resilience by Tod Bolsinger. In his book, Bolsinger discusses a key characteristic all leaders must possess if they are to sustain great leadership – resilience. Bolsinger lays out a process for a leader forming resilience within themselves and the practice of leadership – recognizing the crises present in leading change, formation in the act of leading, self-reflection, relational security, handling stress well, practicing the act of leading, and engaging rhythms of leading and not leading.
