The past five years have been a season of digging deep. It has required lots of forgiveness, patience, and prayer. It has also required an intentional pursuit of wisdom, of friendship, and of spiritual retreat. There were even moments when that spiritual retreat wasn’t so much intentional as it was urgent and mandatory if we were going to continue on the journey God had us on.
I dove into the story of Brother Lawrence, the devotional writing of Thomas â Kempis, and the classic works on the spiritual practices by Richard Foster and the late Dallas Willard. Out of my own experience, I discovered a deep desire to develop resilient Christians and resilient Christian leaders. That’s the impetus of this little book–whether you are a pastor, a ministry leader, or a key volunteer–this book is one more resource in your ministry toolkit to help you lead change without losing heart.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
