Ep. 29: Success without Burnout: Of Trees & Temples, Wisdom from Mark 11
Feel like you are doing a whole lot of work, but instead of being impactful, you just feel BUSY??? Sometimes being a leader - especially in ministry, feels like we have multiple jobs… And for some of us, it actually IS something we do voluntarily in addition to our 9 to 5.
If that’s you (or if it’s not but you don’t want it to be), check out our latest episode with Robert and Tommy as they unpack Mark 11 and the fig tree story. They've got warnings for leaders about getting too busy and missing the fruit.
Tommy and Robert connect the fig tree's leaves to distracting activities, reminding us that busyness doesn't always equal impact. Pursuing success can cost us and our loved ones: and our cycle of constant activity is unhealthy – always gearing up for the next big thing, burning out, and starting over.
Tune in to hear Robert and Tommy talk about intentional pacing for fruitful outcomes and keeping leaders and families in good shape, while exploring how some organizational systems unintentionally hinder diversity. Gain practical insights on fostering diversity and understanding its purpose in shaping us as leaders.
