Brand New Powerful Leadership Training for Pastors to Energize and Inspire You in Your Ministry
Dear Pastor,
Which phrase most aptly describes the balance in your life right now?
a. My life is perfectly balanced between life and work.
b. I’m not stressed, get plenty of sleep and have plenty of time to get everything done.
c. I never feel guilty about not spending enough time with my family or not getting enough done at work.
d. Balance? I’m just trying not to freak out right now! AARRGH!
If your answer is closer to “d” – you’re not alone in ministry. That’s why we’ve put together a BRAND NEW RESOURCE just for you called …
DISCOVERING WORK-LIFE BALANCE HARMONY!
See, most people (including pastors and church staff) struggle with finding the perfect balance between life and work. Between family and ministry. And it can be frustrating!
We spend our time at work feeling guilty and wishing we were at home. And we spend our time at home thinking about work and feeling guilty we aren’t getting more done for God.
And we pull our hair out trying to make everyone happy — trying to be the perfect spouse and parent — while also trying to fulfill our calling and be the perfect pastor.
But our society tells us that balance is just within reach. It’s pushed in our face every day that true happiness, success and fulfillment is ours when we find BALANCE.
But, have you noticed, this maddening pursuit of balance — it isn’t working. It’s just leaving us feeling more exhausted, more defeated and more guilty than ever before. And do you know why?
Because balance is BUNK!
The truth is your life isn’t balanced. And it never will be. You will never have a life that’s perfectly balanced between work and life.
Balance doesn’t work, and here’s why … because life happens!
Balance doesn’t work, and here’s why … because life happens!
- The kids get sick.
- A staff member quits.
- Your roof gets a leak.
- The car breaks down.
- There’s a financial crisis at church.
- You have a fight with your spouse.
- Your back goes out and you miss a week of work.
- Your church doubles in size (Praise God!) – but now you’re drowning.
- You have two funerals and a wedding in one week.
- You can fill in the blank from here …
But what if there was a better way? A better model?
See, Jesus didn’t promise a balanced life. Was Jesus’ life balanced? Was Paul’s life balanced?
What Jesus did promise was an abundant life. A fulfilled life. An effective life. He promises that when we are weary and carrying heavy burdens, He will give us rest.
That’s why we should set side our pursuit of BALANCE — and exchange it for the more fruitful and less stressful pursuit of HARMONY!
Choose HARMONY over BALANCE!
In this BRAND NEW RESOURCE from Kerrick Thomas — designed specifically for pastors and church staff — you will learn simple, practical and Biblical steps to find true HARMONY at home, at work and with yourself.
This is one of the most practical and needed resources that we’ve ever offered!
Kerrick was with me when we started The Journey Church in NYC 17 years ago. He serves as Executive Pastor at The Journey and is one of the primary leaders of our staff team.
During our time together, I’ve seen Kerrick model this concept of finding harmony in an unbalanced world for our staff as he leads our New York City campuses while living in Harlem with his wife of over 20 years (Lorie) and their 3 children. Trust me — his life is anything but balanced. But he and his family find joy and love and purpose in the imbalance!
In this resource you’ll learn from his experience and discover how to find harmony and embrace your imperfectly imbalanced life!
