92: Advent Devotional: How well do you love yourself?

Send a text Have you ever felt like a 'Crabby Pastor,' hustling to keep up with ministry duties, only to realize you're burnt out and your self-care has taken a back seat? It's time to pump the brakes and take a detour away from pastoral burnout and tune in to this little Advent devotional about the crucial role self-love plays in sustainable ministry. Wait, what?? I’m here to remind you that love is an action passionately displayed by Jesus in His ultimate act of self-sacrifice. The fast-paced world may challenge this, but let's explore how a different, more intentional pace in ministry and worship services can help you create space to hear God's voice. We're not just talking about self-love in a bubble. The commandment of loving your neighbor as yourself reminds us that our ability to love others is rooted in our capacity for self-love. But what happens when that self-love is inadequate? Support the show This is a GUILT-FREE zone! So here's your friendly nudge about self-care and its importance for your family, friends, and those you serve in ministry.
