Trisha Taylor - As Long as We Remain Defensive, We'll Remain Unchanged

Trisha Taylor is a counselor, author, consultant and speaker based in Houston, TX. As a counselor she works with individuals, couples and families and seeks to provide a safe space where people who are hurting or confused can find God’s grace and wisdom. Trisha also co-authored the book “The Leader’s Journey: Accepting the Call to Personal and Congregational Transformation”, which challenges leaders to see their congregations as living systems and to respond to leadership challenges with emotional maturity, leading as Jesus did, from the inside out. 

In this episode, Trisha and our host Adam Russell discuss the slow work of God, what transformation looks like when quick fixes don’t work, and the very real question… “Can we change?” Trisha also leads us through a practical exercise for differentiating between our thoughts and feelings, and tackles the hard topic of conflict and allowing others to be different than us. This episode is a treasure trove of illustrations that will be an encouragement to any leader working to improve the health of their staff or church.
