In order to maintain spiritual health, every person in ministry needs to engage in a few spiritual disciplines that nurture relationship with God as an end in itself. This theme is designed to help church leaders—both individually and as a group—to find focus in the middle of ministry through the regular practice of spiritual disciplines. You may use it either for a group training session or to give to people who would benefit from the regular practice of fasting, confession, journaling, and discernment.
This Training Pack contains all of the following:
