âĄDesign a RULE OF LIFE in 60 Minutes - Join us for a free 2025 kickoff webinar with Pete Scazzero and Drew Hyun on January 15th. https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/ruleoflife/
---------------------------
In this special Christmas reflection, Pete Scazzero unpacks the powerful words of John the Baptist: âAmong you stands one you do not knowâ (John 1:26). As we rush through the demands of the season, itâs easy to overlook the quiet, hidden ways God reveals Himselfâin the ordinary, the painful, and even the mundane.
Pete invites us to slow down and embrace the mystery of Godâs presence in unexpected places. From a scandalous birth in a dirty manger to a hidden life in a carpenterâs shop, Jesusâ arrival defies human expectations. What if the very moments we overlook are the places where God stands closest?
Through poignant stories and timeless truths, Pete challenges us to stop, be silent, and listen. Youâll learn practical ways to cultivate attentiveness in your life and leadership, discover God in lifeâs interruptions, and open your heart to His transforming presenceâeven when it doesnât come as you expect.
Donât miss this opportunity to reflect deeply and encounter Jesus in new, surprising ways this Christmas. Listen now.

Jacob offers us a rich study of leadership. While he was richly blessed by God â chosen, destined to greatness, and deeply loved â he struggled to rest in that reality. In Part 1 of this series, Pete unpacks the lessons of Jacobâs exploitation of Esau to ensure he gets Godâs blessings for the future.

Pete invites you to listen to Geriâs reading of the audio version of an outstanding chapter out of The Emotionally Healthy Woman called âQuit Overfunctioning.â By the time you finish, it will make sense why quitting overfunctioning is foundational to leadership.

Advent is a low point spiritually for most Christian leaders. We are told that told Christmas is the time to get as many people as possible to the church, to close the financial year strong, to thank all our leaders, and to model reaching out to our neighbors for Christ. The problem is that in the process we lose the wonder and beauty of celebrating Godâs coming in Jesus of Nazareth. This podcast talks about the top 4 Christmas killers and what we can do to resist them.
