Overview

You're not alone. As a church leader, that's important to know when you experience pressure, disappointment, discouragement, and fatigue in ministry. The easy route is to pack up and quit. But it's not always the best way. Ministry provides too many opportunities for you to reach out and to be obedient for it to be easy.

These seven articles from Leadership journal help you think through your attitude, your calling, and your decision to stay or go. You'll learn about the circumstances that cause doubt to form, steps to build stamina, and ways to prevent future defeats.

This Training Pack contains all of the following:

If you question your calling and competence, you’re not alone.

 
When You're Tired of Leading
Understand the sources of fatigue, and take steps to build stamina.

 
Defeat and Disappointment

The Decision to Stay
