Pastors

You can’t run full speed all the time.

If you laugh at that question, you’re doing ministry wrong.

When was the last time you felt really, truly refreshed? Between late night committee meetings, weekends of services, and round-the-clock availability for counseling and crises, the demands of ministry all too often leave leaders feeling physically exhausted and spiritually limp. While we all know the importance of rest and renewal, it can be difficult to allow ourselves to take time out of our day to rest and renew our bodies and souls.

Serving God and others without going insane.

Making rest an indispensable part of your routine.

I exhausted myself trying to expand our little church, then again when I couldn’t keep up with the growth.

A creative way to avoid burnout in ministry

Everyone wants a break and more time off, but Sabbath offers more.

As a pastor, I learned I needed to embrace God's gift of sleep.

This year, forego the gift cards and get them something they’ll really appreciate.
