Are You Thriving or Merely Surviving?

Do any of the following apply to you:

  • Burned out by constant conflict or caustic criticism?

  • Stressed out by long hours, overload, and the challenges of leading through change?

  • Worn out and sometimes feel like giving up completely?

  • Yet you still have a passion to make a difference.

  • So you’re searching for solutions, resources, and the personal strength that will allow you to thrive in ministry.

If any of the above is true of you - whether struggling to survive or longing to thrive - what you are searching for is emotional and relational wisdom! God promises wisdom to those who ask for it!
