Building Self-Aware Leaders at Saddleback South Bay Church

Abstract

This project is designed to help pastors, ministry leaders, and leaders in the local church with building healthier and more self-aware leaders. Self-aware leaders will be able to understand what and why they do what they do. They will have a better understanding of how to work with others on their team or organization. This creates more unity and ability to work together for the kingdom of God. Chapter 1 provides the context, rationale and direction for self-awareness in the church context. Chapter 2 provides the biblical and theological framework for understanding the importance and value of self-awareness in the local church. It will help understand that self-awareness is a biblical concept rooted in scripture. Chapter 3 will unpack the theoretical and sociological support for creating and developing healthier and more self-aware leaders. This will look into spiritual disciplines such as prayer, meditation, journaling, and feedback. Chapter 4 describes the project itself with a detailed understanding of the curriculum and training material. Chapter 5 brings the project together by making an analysis and discussion of the project goals and outcome of self-awareness in the local church.
