Abstract

This chapter delves into the solitude of Jesus, and the times when he was alone for positive reasons, including rest, reflection, and prayer. This chapter provides current leaders with a workable framework to remain spiritually and emotionally healthy through spaces of solitude. Christian leaders, as they begin to understand the importance of solitude, can remain healthy by embodying Jesus’s approach during their own times of solitude and by appreciating the simplicity of these moments and the significant impact they can have on our lives as leaders.
