leading from

a place of rest

HURRY IS NOT GOD’S BEST FOR LEADERS. Many are leading under the

influence of their stressed-out and overwhelmed lives. We struggle and strive in ministry to see God’s call on our lives fulfilled and to reach more people with His message of hope. All the while, we are daily withering under the pressure of family demands, careers and ministry obligations. There will always be pressure in leadership, but it should never be the place you lead from. Our society has cultivated a mindset of resting after completing the work. The problem is the work never gets done. There will always be more to do on your to-do list. There will always be more work needing your attention. If you only rest when the work is done, you will never feel you have permission to rest.
