Healthy Leaders Seminar – “Work/Life Balance”
WHAT IS THIS SESSION ALL ABOUT?
Many spiritual leaders struggle with setting and maintaining boundaries.
We often commit to do more than we can possibly do; and fail to maintain a sustainable pace.
During this session each participant will take a personal assessment that provides immediate feedback to the individual concerning the health of his/her work/life balance.
We will leave this practical and powerful session with positive action steps designed to help us become and remain healthy.
God’s intention for each of us is that we be emotionally, psychologically, relationally, physically, and spiritually healthy!
III John 2 makes that abundantly clear!
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS SEMINAR? Pastors, spouses, missionaries, elders, and other spiritual leaders in the local church
