Episode 154 - Do You Need Help Handling Ministry Stress?

Do you ever stress out in your small church ministry?

How about stress from...

• Weekly deadlines?
• Having to perform in areas where you are not gifted?
• Times when your family really needs you more than usual?
• Just caring for your church family and their needs?
• Loneliness in ministry, knowing church members will never know the burdens of the pastorate?
• Other peoples' unrealistic expectations of you?
• Trying to juggle too many balls at once?
• Disappointing yourself... yet again?!

Sure you do! If you're in small church ministry, or any size church ministry, you know what we're talking about!

Dave Jacobs joins us to talk about stress, where it comes from, how it affects us, and how we can minimize it in our lives - in this episode, and part 2 next week. So, episodes 154/155 are parts 1&2 of handling stress in your small church ministry!

Oh, and... Happy New Year! May 2016 be our best year ever!
