Blending cultural study, applied neuroscience, and principles of positive psychology, Smith examines how qualities such as resilience, purpose, community-building, and distinctive communication styles were cultivated in this historic institution.The book also explores the future of this leadership pipeline—addressing declining church attendance, the rise of virtual worship since the pandemic, and whether these traditions are being passed on to the next generation.
