Jan Harris, Part II: Achiever, Incarnation, and the Holiness of Overlooked Gifts

Lipscomb University Career Development Center Season 2 Episode 8

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Jan Harris and Lily continue their conversation by pivoting to the Achiever Strength. Jan shares how the determination of this Strength helped her through some of her hardest moments and comments on the sacredness of Strengths that haven't been typically "certified as Christian." She speaks to the importance of focusing on the essentials as an Achiever, simplifying the number of items on her to-do list for the sake of focus and rest. This conversation also addresses the significance of Christ's incarnation for the relationship between everyday human life and the spiritual world.
