MINISTRY FATIGUE | Tools for Recovery
Online seminar with Richard Black
Ministry is uniquely exhausting, and we need to understand why. Join NZ’s leading trainer in ministry wellbeing, Richard Black, for a 90-min live seminar.
  • Assess your own fatigue as you come to the end of the year and make a recovery plan
  • Gain insights into the factors that drain energy and fuel stress, anxiety and depression
  • Practical tools to prevent ministry fatigue and sustain energy for mission
  • Consider how to use the summer break to truly recharge and refresh.

Richard brings deeply biblical wisdom forged with decades of supporting pastors. 
Don’t miss this opportunity to attend to your own ministry health and learn how to strengthen others. Brought to you by Thriving Churches HQ: https://thrivingchurcheshq.com/
