Why EQ Matters
Episode description
Today we are jumping into a new series on Emotional Intelligence. Dallas Willard once said that "Jesus is the smartest man who has ever lived" and we believe that to be true, including when it comes to emotional intelligence. We believe that Jesus had more EQ than any other person that has ever walked the planet and consistently embodied emotional maturity and so, if we are going to grow as disciples of Jesus, we must grow our emotional maturity. Growing in emotional maturity is an essential part of following Jesus and living as disciples.
In this episode we provide a basic introduction to Emotional Intelligence: what it is, why it matters and how we can begin growing into it.
And to help get us started and set the stage for the rest of this series, today are joined by two very good friends, and our first guests ever on Praxis, Trisha Taylor and Jim Herrington from The Leader’s Journey.
