Unapologetic Evolution with Aja - Elephant in the room - Part II
Part 2: The Courageous Path - Aja Grant on Authenticity, Boundaries and Ministry Beyond the Pulpit
Join me for an intimate discussion with my dear friend Aja Grant, as she courageously opens up about the complexities of being an authentic minister, artist and leader within the African American community. Together, we confront the Elephant in the Room: the importance of setting boundaries, recognizing self-worth, and truly showing up as your authentic self in ministry.
Aja vulnerably shares her journey of unpacking the similarities between church dynamics and corporate environments, and the need to take ministry beyond the four walls, meeting people where they are. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' relatable approach as a "misfit," she challenges us to lead with curiosity, understanding and a pattern of empathy.
Let's dive into part II of Aja's frank reflections on avoiding invasive approaches, the lack of self-reflection within the church, and her wisdom on finding balance amidst the demands of spiritual leadership. How do we protect ourselves while showing up wholeheartedly?
