Thank you for your continued partnership with TIMES12. We want to share with you the profound impact your generous giving is having on church planters, pastors, and leaders. In March, we gathered to learn from Guest Speaker Drew Hyun about Emotionally Healthy Leadership, based on Peter Scazzero’s book “The Emotionally Healthy Leader.” It was a powerful time of rest, refilling, and connection made even more impactful by the fact that our network has been reading and reflecting on this book together in our hubs as we focus this year on personal emotional health.
The atmosphere of learning, reflection, and growth was inspiring. It’s because of generous, Kingdom-minded givers like you that we are able to provide opportunities like this one, and we know that God will continue to use the insights gained and tools provided to form pastors, planters, and, as a result, churches.
At the heart of this event was the idea that healthy leaders make healthy churches. Attendees left with crucial key insights, such as:
- Self-awareness and Emotional Health: True leadership begins with the leader’s emotional and spiritual health. In order to lead others, we must first lead ourselves.
- The Power of Sabbath: Building a rhythm of rest is essential for sustaining long-term leadership and personal well-being.
- Living in the ‘Both/And’ Tension: Effective leaders know how to hold the tension between action and reflection, urgency and patience, discipline and grace.
- Diving Deeper with Our Teams: Leaders are called to create emotionally healthy teams by being vulnerable and modeling healthy relational dynamics.
Your partnership is a direct investment in the lives of these leaders, equipping them to lead with emotional and spiritual health. As they grow, they are able to make new, faithful, and healthy disciples and plant churches that reflect the love and hope of Jesus.
