FINAL MODULE FOR 2024
MODULE 4 - BEING IN MINISTRY WITHOUT BURNING OUT
What happens when we broaden the lens to consider the systemic and relational factors that contribute to many ministry workers experiencing burnout? How can I effectively manage myself and last the distance in the face of ministry complexities and challenges?
This ministry module will use systems thinking to expand your understanding of the causes of burnout. Learning about your default behaviours in response to stress can provide a road map out of exhaustion into more thoughtful, sustainable ministry practices. It will demonstrate that developing a more defined 'self' in relationship systems is vital to sustainable ministry.
Time: TUESDAYS 11:30am-1pm
