Summary

Is it possible to be healthy and balanced in both family and ministry? While ministry is a wonderful way to showcase Christ’s love to others, the enemy can often use our good intentions to serve others as bait for stress, chaos and overcommitment. Many Christians who start enthusiastically in ministry end up in a place of burn out and disillusionment as time goes on. In this episode, Leslie draws from her own ministry experience to share key Biblical principles that can help us approach ministry in a healthy and Christ-centered way. She offers insights into how to balance ministry with other responsibilities such as family relationships, and gives practical suggestions for avoiding ministry burnout. This episode casts a vision for ministry that goes the distance.
