You Are Not Alone…

I know it can feel like it. Even in ministry. Ministry can be incredibly difficult and lonely. But you are not alone. It is my prayer that this website, in some small way, can be a reminder of that. God is always with us and God loves us. God uses people to help us remember that. The communities I listed on the Social Media Support page are groups where we can be reminded that we’re not alone and find ministry help.

Worship Circle is a community and program that goes deeper. This program was truly a God-send for me, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to have been in it. It is difficult to even put into words the impact the support and soul care from this community has had on my life. I highly recommend looking into it if you could use a community to grow in and find support.

I also recommend Capable Life, which I learned about through Worship Circle. Steve Cuss and team have a program with resources designed to help leaders identify causes of anxiety and reactivity and learn how to lower reactivity to lead with peace. As leaders, we need and deserve to be leading from a healthy place. The Capable Life resources offer very practical ways to start that journey.

If you are looking for individualized support for your ministry, I also offer assistance in worship planning, social media and web design, and content writing for social media or worship service readings. Send me a message to set up a consultation.

Above all, I pray that you know you are loved and not alone because you are God’s child, not because of how much you can take on before burnout. I pray God’s best for you in your ministry.
