This special course is for all current and active Christian pastors and ministry leaders who need to take some time out from the pressures of leadership. The truth is many leaders are feeling the impact of serving through some very challenging days which can leave emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical resources depleted.
Time Out for Leaders is specifically designed for you to rest and receive. There will be times of worship, relevant and down-to-earth teaching and time to receive prayer ministry with our confidential team. The teaching will look at topics like loneliness and isolation, insecurity, people-pleasing, comparisons, God’s Father heart for you, false comforts, forgiveness, reconciliation and setting Godly boundaries.
Ellel Grange is a safe place to come and be real about the struggles that are faced in leadership and on a personal level. You will be able to share honestly and have permission to just be you and not to perform. So, why not book on this event and allow the Lord to restore your own heart as you continue to give out to others.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30, ESV
