Avoid burnout and enjoy a thriving, joy-filled ministry for decades to come.
Whether you're a pastor or involved in ministry as a leader, you undoubtedly have passion for the people you serve. You feel led to serve a higher purpose by using your gifts to serve others, meet the needs of your community, and reach the masses with the love of Christ.
No matter how passionate you are, though, ministry is not without stressors. Shouldering the emotional needs of those you serve, organizing charity projects, planning sermons, keeping track of prayer or support requests, fulfilling family obligations, and overseeing other players within the church or ministry—it's a lot for any person to take on.
As of March 2022, over 40% of pastors have considered quitting their positions as full-time ministers within the past year.*
The reason? Although there were several factors involved, nearly half of pastors (43%) said one of their primary reasons was isolation and loneliness.
While you're pouring into your congregation, you need other of spiritual maturity pouring back into you. Whether you're just getting started in ministry or have been at it for awhile, you should be understand that compassion fatigue and pastor burnout are real problems, but they aren't inevitable.
What many Christian leaders are lacking, especially in today's society where faith is constantly under attack, is the spiritual support of like-minded people.
When you sign up for this program, you will be given the opportunity to gain support and networking opportunities with both staff and international ministry leaders who have traveled the road you are on while maintaining their zeal and passion for helping others using their unique gifts. Conversations will focus on:
Spiritual practices that will fill you up and help you connect with God on a deeper and more meaningful level. Your number one source of support is Christ himself.
Prophetic prayer to help you gain insight into your ministry's goals and serve others in need of guidance.
Movemental leadership to help you motivate and inspire your congregants to become active participants in your ministry, embodying the idea of being Christ's hands and feet on the earth.
Through the Core Cohort, not only will you gain the perspective and knowledge of experienced mentors, but you'll make meaningful connections with regional congregational leaders to lean into for friendship, fellowship, and support for years.
You'll learn to set ministry goals, and you’ll receive accountability through your network to encourage you to take the next steps needed to meet them. More importantly, you'll develop friendships with other leaders within the body of Christ to avoid the isolation that so often leads to pastor burnout.
