Scazzero turns finally to the leader's responsibility to pass on emotional health to the next generation — and argues that the most lasting legacy is not a program or a strategy but a community of leaders transformed from the inside out.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Scazzero insists that genuine community — the kind Jesus prays for in John 17 — is both the context in which leaders are formed and the fruit that healthy leadership produces. How does this vision of community differ from the programmatic small groups or leadership pipelines many churches run?
2.He argues that developing the next generation of leaders cannot be outsourced to programs, curricula, or conferences — it requires the slow, relational, costly work of being known by and knowing those we are developing. What does that kind of investment actually look like in practice?
3.Scazzero reflects on what it means to pass on not just skills and theology but emotional health — to apprentice leaders in the inner life, not just the outer tasks. Who has modeled emotional health for you as a leader, and what specific practices or postures did you learn from watching them?
a.What is one aspect of emotional health that you are currently working to model for the next generation of leaders around you?
b.What in your current life makes that difficult?
