On this Leader's Corner episode we talk to our friend David Zahl about leadership lessons he's learned in marriage and in building Mockingbird.
"Just because something doesn't happen immediately doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Stick with it a little longer than you think you should." "You can get through almost anything if you feel like you've got a partner, someone who's got your back." "The demand is to be everything to everyone, which is just not feasible.""It's not about changing your spouse's process but learning to adapt and support it."
A few quotable moments from David: (Read all of his points over at the blog)David Zahl is the director of Mockingbird Ministries and editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website. Born in New York City and brought up elsewhere, David graduated from Georgetown University in 2001, and then worked for several years as a youth minister in New England. In 2007 he founded Mockingbird in NYC.
Today David and his wife Cate reside in Charlottesville, VA with their three boys, where David also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church.
He is the author of Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself), Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It, and Law and Gospel: A Theology for Sinners (and Saints).How you can support us:
