  • Welcome to Episode 95 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. In today’s episode Patrick is continuing with one of the most important factors for successful leaders, self-differentiation. The past 3 episodes have focused on these concepts, starting with episode 92 (The Leader’s Kryptonite: Emotional Fusion Versus Differentiation) giving the context for the series. If you have wondered why you can’t seem to get the ‘wins’ you work so hard for, even after training with conferences, consultants, books, podcasts, and mentors, this episode series is for you!

    Episode 95 takes us into the following:

    * Review of self-differentiation and giving context to leadership challenges.

    * Review of awareness and responsibility (AR of ART) as the first two components of self-definition or identity.

    * Revealing the third component of self-definition or identity: truth.

    * How truth is about honoring your own values, perspectives, opinions, convictions, interpretations, beliefs, desires, and goals.

    * How identity is the ability to know and commit to what you believe is true, not being closed to opposing ideas, or being inflexible.

    * How identity is about the right to define yourself, define your own thoughts and beliefs, and to clarify what it means to be yourself.

    * How identity empowers you to know what you think is important, what is valuable, and what you believe to be moral and true.

    * How you come to know what is true: objectivity versus subjectivity.

    * Exploration of free moral agency as God’s gift to choose what you believe is true.

    * How emotions and feelings are beneficial gifts to serve your awareness, but how they are unreliable sources to anchor you in truth.

    * The benefit of Scripture as an authoritative source for truth.

    * How Biblical identity is not your unwilling acceptance of God’s forced enmeshment, but your willing acceptance in pursuit of truth.

    * Biblical texts to reinforce ideas and benefits of truth around emotional states.

    * Exercises to build your truth-muscles and instincts.

  • Welcome to Episode #94 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. In today’s episode Patrick is continuing with one of the most important factors for successful leaders: differentiation. Self-differentiation is a human flourishing code cracker. If you have wondered why you can’t seem to get the ‘wins’ you work so hard for, even after training with conferences, consultants, books, podcasts, and mentors, this episode is for you!

    This episode takes us into the following:

    * Review of Dr. Murray Bowen’s Systems Theory.

    * Sharing of quotes from Pastor Steve Cuss’s work about Systems Theory from his book, Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs.

    * Discussion regarding the distinctions between enmeshment/fusion, detachment/distance and self-differentiation.

    * Exploration of the ART (awareness, responsibility, and truth) of self-definition and emotional identity.

    * Biblical texts to reinforce ideas of intentional responsibility around emotional states.

    * How self-awareness is a critical component of identity, but without responsibility it makes a person entitled, self-absorbed, and toxic.

    * How God is looking for growth and maturity, rather than flawlessness and perfectionism.

    * How self-definition comes from within, not by being adaptive to other’s desires, emotions, and projections.

    * Examination of pro-depressive circuits and empowerment (dopamine) circuits from Dr. Andrew Huberman’s work, a neuroscientist from Stanford University.

    * Great exercises to build the responsibility muscles and instincts.

    * We present the “Feelings Wheel” as a tool to discover various feeling states.

    * We walk through how an event turns into an emotional experience, then a looping narrative script, then an emotional meaning around our self.

    * We see how disputing false interpretations gives new meaning and relieves anxiety.

  • Welcome to Episode #90 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. Today’s conversation is with theologian, pastor, seminary president, Dr. Terry Wardle, as we talk through how leadership dysfunction is a symptom of emotional disruption.

    Dr. Wardle has served as a Church Planter, Seminary President, Professor, Author, and International Speaker. Today he directs the Institute of Formational Counseling, Healing Care Ministries, and Healing Care Ministries International. During his own season of deep brokenness while leading a great Christian organization, Dr. Wardle met Christ as he never had before. Dr. Wardle leverages this transformational encounter to see similar transformations in thousands of leaders worldwide.

    Our conversation takes us into the following:

    Terry’s faith story from meteoric rise in ministry to sitting in an inpatient psychiatric institution.

    How his spiritual giftings hid all the pain of an unresolved past.

    Amazing successes to immediate deep depression and agoraphobia (irrational fear and panic of being in crowds).

    How professional competencies do not indicate a person’s health.

    At 5 years of age Terry watched his grandfather die less than three feet away from him. The next year he woke up next to his grandmother who had died in her sleep.

    Anger and achievement give the illusion it can still the storm of fear.

    Neurobiologically when we are wounded, we are wounded episodically; therefore we must be healed episodically.

    Why simply reading or memorizing Scripture often fails to change us.

    Sometimes we use “spiritual pain killers” in hopes of escaping the pain.

    How dysfunctional behavior is a symptom of emotional disruption.

    What is true is conceptual. What is real is episodic. How these differences give huge insights.

    Shame is the basic sense that I don’t measure up.

    An effective ministry demands we have an authentic life.

    Identity is not about competency but having a clear self-definition.

    Identity is not what makes you unique. Identity is the foundation on which uniqueness rests.

    Workaholism in ministry is not a matter of theology; it’s a matter of pathology.

    It’s not achievement that changes a life; it’s awakening that changes a life.

    Dysfunctional patterns come from loss, lies, and wounds.

    How to know you have grieved losses appropriately and sufficiently.

    The language of emotion is uncensored. The language of cognition is sterilized and guarded.

    The importance of lamenting and imprecatory Psalms for healing and transformation.

  • Welcome to Episode #89 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. Today’s episode is a message by Patrick from a series called Activation.

    Jesus and the first century leaders spoke often of the transformational power of Activation. What does that mean? When a person simply takes wholistic action upon God’s Word and promises with trust, emotion, and expectancy, a supernatural reaction takes place that leaves the person changed. For many Christians there is a wait and see relationship with God’s promises. But when we choose, rearrange our lives, surrender our hearts and souls, and act upon God’s Word, it will take us from a dead, theoretic religion into a vibrant, energized relationship. The Activation series will help you grasp the vast differences between just reading the Bible as an academic book versus implementing the nuances as a world-changing child of God.

    This episode takes us into the following:

    * The Bible was never intended to be an empty caricature of God.

    * The Word of God is filled with God’s nature, substance, wisdom, and power.

    * The Word of God is to change every sphere of life.

    * God intends that His Word will bring radical transformation in a human life.

    * God never speaks of humans becoming flawless but rather maturing in transformation.

    * Surrender refers to activations of faith in God’s Word.

    * Emotional regulation and satisfaction towards happiness has to do with the state of your heart.

    * Pride is lacking tenderness in surrender to God’s thoughts, ways, and standards.

    * When obedience costs you something it is experienced by God as worship.

    * The stages of surrender: watching, considering, repenting, reorganizing.

    * If you don’t like your life, check your surrender.

    * Patrick’s story of a lifetime of surrender experiences.

    * Inner newness of life doesn’t happen in memorizing a new Scripture; it happens in surrenders given in each stage of life.

    * Great faith to speak to mountains requires a growth-pattern of great surrender even in the smallest areas of life.

    * Identifying the fears that prevent you from surrendering to all of God’s ways.
