Ministry doesn’t have office hours, but your soul still needs rest. And boundaries aren’t about selfishness—they’re about stewardship.
When Pastor Aimee decided to reclaim her Mondays, she got pushback. Staff members questioned her commitment. Church members asked why she didn’t attend every event.
And within three months, something changed. Her messages deepened. Her joy returned. Her family noticed.
Resting well is part of leading well.
Setting limits on your availability, protecting family time, and scheduling regular time off isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. What boundary do you need to reset?
Your longevity in ministry may depend on it.
