LET'S BE HONEST
Ever have those moments when you feel the weight or burden of ministry and family responsibilities keeping you from moving forward? You might have a sense that nothing can be done because there is so much to be done.
How can you be true to your calling, present for your family, and still have a little bit of sanity left at the end of the day for yourself?
DISCUSSION TIME
Share your first and last name & answer one of the following questions:
• What are you reading right now?
• If you are driving through Chick-Fil-A, what are you ordering?
• What is your pie-in-the-sky-maybe-not-realistic dream job? Non-ministry only.
What do you (and your spouse, if applicable) like to do outside of the house that gives you life?
How do you best handle the tension in youth ministry that there's always something to do, always someone to care for, and it's my job to do it?
What currently overwhelms you the most in your role?
Name your top strength and your top weakness in this list:
• Prioritizing Rest • Breaking up what you do in manageable chunks
• Empowering Other People • Finding some hacks/resources that work for you
• Turning off your work-mind when you're not working
What are some healthy boundaries that you have instituted in your personal life and ministry that are working?
What is one thing you need to do leaving this place today to maintain a healthy work/personal life balance?
How can we help?
