About
Before you can lead others, you must know who you are when everything external is stripped away.
Becoming Rooted is the first book in the Leading with Heart and Soul series, a five-book leadership formation model that integrates ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and thirty years of hard-won experience. This is not a book about climbing. It is a book about becoming.
Through five chapters, author David Lee guides readers through the foundational work most leadership books skip: identity formation. Drawing from the twelve tribes of Israel, the Hebrew scriptures, and the psychology of human development, each chapter addresses a core question:
Chapter 1: What am I willing to sacrifice for the leader I want to become?
Chapter 2: How do I integrate spirit, soul, and body instead of leading from fragmentation?
Chapter 3: What if my greatest failures are not disqualifications but formation?
Chapter 4: How do I extract wisdom from exile instead of just surviving it?
Chapter 5: What is growing in the hidden seasons when no one sees my work?
The element is Fire. The theme is identity. The outcome is a leader whose roots run deep enough to sustain what is coming.
This book is for professionals, pastors, parents, and anyone sensing that surface-level leadership development is no longer enough. If you have hit a ceiling you cannot explain, experienced a collapse you are still processing, or simply hunger for formation that matches your complexity, Becoming Rooted offers a map.
Welcome to the burning. The altar is waiting.
