Creating Safe Places

Serving in God’s army is an awesome experience! But the privilege of joining God at work in what He’s already doing in the earth can be an overwhelming mission. If we are not cautious we will abandon the mission midstream. Creating Safe Places that secure your spiritual, emotional & physical stability are vital!

So here are a few things to think about:

What frustrates you the most in your serving?

Are there moments in your serving where you feel like there is nothing left of you to give?

What motivates you to do what you do?

Have you ever considered why you serve in the capacity that you do?

Do you have a system(s) in place to handle tough times?

Do you approach ministry methodically?

How well do you receive feedback from those in ministry w/ you?

How well do you receive feedback from those close to you who aren’t involved in direct ministry with you?
