See this content in the original post

What are the issues facing church leaders in regards to stress, thriving, surviving and burnout?

Psychologist Valerie Ling, from the Centre For Effective Living, counsels and trains ministry workers on these issues.

Valerie says she sees person after person suffering from burnout, and yet it is so preventable. 

How can we move beyond surviving to sustainable leadership, clarity of purpose, intentional living, a sense of self, supportive relationships, and mismatch areas in ministry?
