The Land Between
Every leader will face seasons of transition. This is part of the "Operating System" throughout the course of our lives. This content is designed to help you have something to aid you in the processing of those seasons. There is a talk from the 2010 Global Leadership Summit that has been a "go-to" for me over the years and it's helped many leaders who have faced the new chapters in life. Below is a link to watch the session.
The Land Between ... Everybody who serves in a leadership capacity for any length of time knows the burden of leadership. Each person has a breaking point where the burdens of leadership become too much to bear. Jeff Manion calls this space The Land Between. Watch as Pastor Jeff Manion describes the very familiar reality of The Land Between, and how to best respond in the midst of this trying season. The notes below will help you follow along and give you a chance to reflect and apply what you learn.
He's also written a book entitled The Land Between: Finding God In Difficult Transitions. In this Ebook edition of The Land Between, author Jeff Manion uses the biblical story of the Israelites’ journey through Sinai desert as a metaphor for being in undesired, transitional space. After enduring generations of slavery in Egypt, the descendants of Jacob travel through the desert (the land between) toward their new home in Canaan. They crave the food of their former home in Egypt and despise their present environment. They are unable to go back and incapable of moving forward. The Land Between explores the way in which the Israelites’ reactions can provide insight and guidance on how to respond to God during our own seasons of difficult transition. It also provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling through undesired transitions—foreclosure, unemployment, parents in declining health, post-graduate uncertainty, business failure—who are looking for hope, guidance, and encouragement. While it is possible to move through transitions and learn little, they provide our greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. God desires to meet us in our chaos and emotional upheaval, and he intends for us to encounter his goodness and provision during these upsetting seasons.
