Episode 11

Rhonda & David Interview Ircel Harrison of Pinnacle Leadership Associates about the need for debriefing traumatic, volatile experiences like COVID as a pathway for moving ahead as congregations.

  • Rhonda mentions a webinar that suggested it will take us, culturally, nine years to recover from COVID from a mental health perspective. The webinar suggested that the church may be a natural place to help people recover. The source of that webinar: “People in an After Covid World: A Guide for Congregations” from the Center for Congregations.

  • David and Ircel are both coaches with churches in the ReShaping Church initiative through Central Baptist Theological Seminary.

  • Rhonda mentions being an “Enneagram 7”. Here is a brief description of the Enneagram.

  • The discussion is based on a book by Mark Tidsworth: ReShape.

  • Rhonda would like to publicly apologize to Ircel . . . as the pod editor, she couldn’t resist the temptation to include his funniest blooper across 2 seasons of Pastor Life Podcast. :)
