Are you a healthy leader?
Pastoral burnout is a topic we’ve noted several times here at the Buzz, and if the number of articles about it are any indication, it remains a serious problem. But a piece by Dave Kraft at the Navigators website looks at the issue from a different angle, and asks church leaders “How healthy are you?”
He’s not just talking about spiritual health–he’s challenging leaders and ministers to consider whether the everyday lifestyle they lead contributes to their ministry… or is just setting them up for a physical and emotional crash. Are you leading a well-paced, focused life–or are you exhausting yourself with a brutal ministry schedule and an ever-increasing burden of stress? Read Kraft’s advice for healthy leadership and see if it applies to your own ministry.
