Dealing With the Physical Demands of Ministry
Basically the author takes the entire chapter and gives 12 ways to lessen the physical demands of ministry! We do most of them but not all of them. I have a feeling we might introduce a couple more of them though!
My thoughts:
1. Focus in your area of giftedness. Do not expend your energies elsewhere.
I didn’t do this at our current church at first. I was putting my energies into stuff that were not my forte. I was becoming exhausted and luckily one of our very wise deacon’s wives came to me and said, “why are you involved in these things? They weren’t on your list of things you wanted to be involved in when you candidated!” She was right and I prayed about it and set those two ministries aside and I am soooo glad I did it!
2. Prioritize and Organize
Do I need to say no to something? Yes I do! Lol! We need to constantly re-evaluate what we are doing and why! This is an ongoing process!
And there you have it my thoughts on chaper 2. Have a great day!
