“Thus says the LORD: 'Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” (Jeremiah 6:16, ESV) In the fast-paced and often chaotic environment of everyday ministry, maintaining a deep spiritual life is crucial for sustainable leadership. This talk explores how often neglected ancient spiritual practices—such as prayer, fasting, giving, and Sabbath rest—can provide a foundation for modern-day pioneering and planting. By prioritising spiritual formation over mere strategy, leaders can remain centered in Christ and responsive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This holistic approach to ministry ensures that pioneering endeavours are not just strategically sound, but spiritually vibrant.
