Exploring Rest, Justice, and Leadership Through the Story of Zacchaeus
In episode 43 of the 11 Ten Leadership Podcast, hosts David and Rob discuss the essential relationship between rest and leadership, emphasizing the importance of creating a foundation of rest for effective leadership. They explore the story of Zacchaeus from the Bible, focusing on how his encounter with Jesus and subsequent actions exemplify the connection between receiving grace, embodying rest, and committing to justice. The conversation covers Zacchaeus' radical response to Jesus’s call, highlighting his decision to give away his possessions and make amends as an act of justice stemming from a place of rest. Through this biblical narrative, the hosts articulate the concept of 'quality zero' - understanding one’s identity and acceptance of grace as the groundwork for pursuing justice. David and Rob further discuss the practical implications for modern leaders, advocating the necessity of community, worship, and restful rhythms to maintain this foundational quality. The episode concludes with reflections on the broader impact leaders can have by embodying rest and justice in their personal and professional lives.
