Your ability to provide effective leadership for your church and community depends greatly on your own total well-being. In more extreme times – such as during the C-19 pandemic – the entire church and community look to you to offer comfort, support, and encouragement as the heaviness of the world weighs on everyone.Īs you care for others, you may neglect yourself. Often you are helping one or more individuals deal with difficult situations at any given time. As a pastoral leader in your church, members of your congregation and community lean heavily on you in times of crisis and celebration, when navigating new life pathways and while in despair.
