Dreams Need Direction
Ministry is fulfilling, but it’s also demanding.
As spiritual shepherds navigate the complexities of Sunday sermons, congregational care, staff supervision, and personal life balance, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.
I created The Healthy Church Leader Annual Review to serve as your spiritual compass, helping you chart a clear course, and to help you avoid:
Purposeless Patterns and fruitless routines.
Muddled Ministry and minimal evolution.
Leadership Liability and lacking self-assessment.
Without a moment to pause and process, your purpose can get buried under the avalanche of activities.
Looking Back with Purpose
Stop. Breathe. Reflect. This annual review creates space for holy hindsight.
Do yourself a favor, and press the pause button.
Through guided reflection, you’ll explore:
Mountain-top ministry moments that shaped souls.
Kingdom impact that rippled through your community.
Leadership lessons discovered in both victories and valleys.
Sacred pauses reveal God’s fingerprints in your ministry.
Leading from the Inside Out
Ministry excellence flows from personal wholeness. The annual review guides you through self-assessment covering spiritual vitality, leadership effectiveness, and life rhythm. You’ll wrestle with questions like:
Which spiritual practices are feeding your soul?
How is your leadership team growing and evolving?
Where are the stress fractures in your work-life rhythm?
These insights help you tend to yourself while serving others.
Vision and Clarity
Dreams need direction. The annual review helps you craft spirit-led goals that align with your calling and capacity. Casting vision is not corporate planning- it’s about kingdom impact.
Whether planning new or pruning current ministries, every goal flows from prayer.
Building Your Leadership Circle
The annual review invites your key leaders into your reflection process. This shared vulnerability:
Deepens team trust and alignment.
Creates space for collective celebration.
Identifies where additional support is needed.
This transparency builds accountability and ensures your vision becomes reality.
Finding Yourself
At its heart, the annual review is a spiritual discipline. It’s an invitation to sit with the Spirit, examining your past year through heaven’s lens. It’s a form of worship.
