The Power of Belonging: Discovering the Confidence to Lead with Vulnerability
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Do you struggle with feeling like an impostor in your own leadership? Do you carry a secret anxiety about being revealed as a fraud?
We all long to belong, especially those in positions of leadership. But deeply rooted shame can keep leaders from connecting authentically and vulnerably. Reverend Will van der Hart and Dr. Rob Waller—an experienced church leader and respected psychiatrist—integrate the story of Scripture with the science behind mental health, offering real steps for transformation. When leaders know that they belong to God—when they develop a deep sense of security in Him—they can overcome constricting shame and lead with confidence.
Offering a psychological and biblical response to one of the most persistent problems in leadership, The Power of Belonging is a unique resource to help you build success from your sense of security, allowing your unique leadership gifts to flourish and grow.
Each chapter includes study guide questions for group or individual use.

‘Belonging within a team has been at the heart of all my adventures: It has helped me make a home in some of the most hostile environments on the planet. I recommend The Power of Belonging to you as a great place to explore the security you need for leadership.’
‘Will van der Hart has an invaluable gift for helping us address areas of our lives where we have been hurt and broken – and to find our security in Jesus. He and Rob Waller show us that vulnerability is a strength which can enable us to flourish as leaders in the power of the Holy Spirit.’
'The Power of Belonging is full of wisdom, insight, and common sense. In an age when many are crippled by insecurity, shame, and loneliness, the authors confront these issues boldly yet sensitively. They are honest and vulnerable, and this is what gives them their credibility. Not written from an ivory tower but in the midst of their own quest to lead from a place of belonging.’
‘Through their work with Mind & Soul, Will van der Hart and Rob Waller have enabled thousands to be heard and helped and to step into deep healing. I commend their work and especially this new book, The Power of Belonging. In a fickle world of fame and followers, this book is essential reading. We are “A” people: more anxious than ever before, crying out to be seen and matter at the deepest level. The Power of Belonging enables the reader to step free into truth, hope and substance.’
