Building a Foundation for Leadership—Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical Health and Resiliency
Today’s ministry environment overwhelms too many leaders with frenzied schedules, burned-out spirits, and stress-induced ailments. We will discuss these realities along with Biblical realities and the necessity of a solid foundation of spiritual, emotional, and physical health and resiliency. We will discover how much personal resiliency benefits the leader and impacts others. Participants will take home a one-page, self-designed, personal resiliency plan with tools and ideas to get started on their journey to greater spiritual, emotional, and physical health — which form the true foundation for leadership.
