Unseen Leadership Episode 42: Dean Inserra on Growing in Self Awareness

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Dean Inserra who is the founding and lead pastor of City Church in Tallahassee, FL, and the author of The Unsaved Christian. During their conversation, they discuss the journey of church planting, how to grow in self-awareness, and how to determine if you should go to seminary. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 42: “We are all replaceable and don't need to have a chip on our shoulder.” “I think you need to get seminary out of your system as quickly as possible.” “I had to learn there’s different ways to lead different types of people.” “I think self awareness is everything. On our staff, we call it feel.” “I think everything goes back to how you view God.” “My biggest misconception was that I would have instant credibility with those older than me.” “There’s going to be a lot of guys who are chasing a lot of stuff. Let it come to you instead of going out and looking for it.” “Focus on those who are in front of you, not just what is next.” “Take God really seriously and not yourself.” "I would encourage those in leadership to not read more leadership books than doctrine and theology books."
