Nurturing Humility in Our Lives - Richard Foster & Brenda Quinn - 49 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry

    • Christianity

How much attention have you been giving to the virtue of humility in your life and in your ministry?  In this episode, I'm joined by Richard Foster and Brenda Quinn. Richard Foster is the Founder of Renovare. He is probably best known for the many books he's written on the topic of spiritual formation, including Streams of Living water, and Celebration of Discipline, which has been read by millions of people worldwide. His latest book is entitled Learning Humility. Brenda serves as a Pastor of Spiritual Formation, at Living Way Fellowship outside of Denver, Colorado. Together, Brenda, Richard and I explore how pastors and ministry leaders have some unique challenges when it comes to nurturing humility. Richard also shares some insights from his year long focus on humility, as he journeyed with Jesus, nature, and many great voices from across the history of the church.  Are you ready? Let's go.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Brenda Quinn on getting to know yourself: "What are my motivations? Who am I? Why do I do what I do? You know, being able to take a hard honest look at ourselves, to let the Holy Spirit reveal who we are, and why we do what we do. And that can be hard, it can be hard to be honest about who we are. But until we get to that place, I don't know that we can start entering into humility.” 
 
Richard Foster on the importance of being teachable: “Let me give another word for humility. Teachability. In order to receive wisdom, I have to be teachable. I let Brenda teach, I let you know, we're all beginners in this we're learning a life of humility before God. And to be teachable, is such an essential feature. And now there's humility. Because we learn from others.”

Richard Foster on practicing humility: “Let's love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, our neighbors ourselves. And when we keep first things first, then these other things fall into place in their own time and their own way.”
