Leading for the Long Haul: Rhythms That Sustain a Healthy Leader

Ministry leadership is a marathon, not a sprint. Yet the demands of leadership can slowly deplete the very soul from which we lead. What does it look like to cultivate a life and leadership that can flourish over the long haul?

In this webinar, we’ll explore the connection between longevity, healthy leadership, and intentional spiritual rhythms with Rev. Dr. Debbie Lamm Bray and Rev. Terry Inman. Together, we’ll consider the importance of retreating with God, creating space for rest and renewal, and developing spiritual practices that sustain us through the changing seasons of leadership.

Rather than simply adding more to an already-full schedule, we’ll explore how rhythms of abiding, retreat, reflection, and renewal can help leaders remain rooted in Christ and lead from a healthy, sustainable center.

Come discover practical ways to build a life with God that not only sustains your leadership today, but helps you become a "Leader Who Lasts."
