When we begin in leadership it is common to set off at a sprint, only to find later on that we are in a marathon. Lots of people start the race, but the Apostle Paul talks about finishing. Tragically many people who start off well in Christian leadership don't get to the finish line. In this talk, we consider some of the main factors that cause leaders to cease persevering. Thinking about healthy spiritual formation, we consider what spiritual habits, patterns, structures and support help us to enjoy God over the long haul and to avoid spiritual unhealthiness and, later on, burning out. If you want to establish firm foundations and habits for spiritually healthy ministry, flowing out of your joy in God, this might be the talk for you.
