The Power of Presence

Path for Growth with Alex Judd

What if you’re so obsessed with what God did in your life that you’re missing what God is doing in your life? Today is the first in a two-part series about being a more present leader. Let’s start by talking about present leaders and why it’s so important to focus on this.

• Growing up I would describe myself as being driven, achievement oriented and ambitious. Those are strengths and also weaknesses (0:46)
• “If you always live life for what’s around the corner, you’ll look up one day and realize you never actually lived any life” (3:04)
• One of the greatest gifts you can give to people you impact - and to yourself - is your commitment to being a present leader (4:37)
• I want to start by talking about present leaders - what they understand, believe and know (6:32)
• The present leader understands that attention is an investment (7:32)
• The present leader believes that now is a gift (12:30)
• The present leader knows that their attitudes and actions will be replicated (16:53)
• It’s difficult to be scattered and distracted when you’re around a person who is deeply present and committed (18:17)
• To be present is to express gratitude with your attention in such a way that others feel compelled to do the same (20:08)
• The first enemy of presence is worry about the future (22:00)
• The second enemy of presence is nostalgia for the past (23:27)
• The last enemy is distraction in the present (28:39)
• What is one place you feel called to be radically present? (31:31)
