Does your Sabbath include these four key elements?
Observing Sabbath is an important part of keeping yourself as a pastor healthy on every level—physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Here are four key ingredients to a true Sabbath rest.
Paying attention to your physical health as a pastor is crucial
As pastors and leaders, we sometimes let the pressures of ministry blind us from taking care of ourselves. But we can’t afford to ignore our physical well-being. It’s a key component to longevity in life and ministry.
Taking care of your soul includes taking care of your health
Life in general, and ministry in particular, can cause a lot of stress. And that stress can lead to unhealthy behaviors that take a physical toll and only make matters worse. But Jesus is standing ready to turn our distress around, to victory.
