5 signs you've outgrown doing ministry alone

Published 10 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

There's a version of leadership that looks like faithfulness but is actually overload.

You probably already know what that looks like. The first one in... the last one out. Answering emails after dinner or double-checking them before bed. Chasing down details that somehow landed on your desk... again. And then Sunday comes, and you're supposed to preach with clarity and presence (while you're on fumes).

But the problem usually isn't your capacity. It's your structure.

You haven't outgrown ministry, you've just outgrown doing ministry mostly on your own.

Our friends at BELAY put together a piece on the five signs it's time to make the shift from a solo leader to a supported leader.

It's honest, practical, and worth a few minutes of your time.

Because my guess is you were called to lead, preach, and pastor.

You were not called to be the last line of defence against an overflowing inbox.

Cheering for you,
​
