-
- Christianity
How can we overcome the overwhelm that so often occurs in ministry, and be healthy and effective in our calling? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Daniel Fusco, author, church planter, and lead pastor of Crossroads Community Church in Vancouver, Washington. Together, Daniel and Jason explore the idea of unlocking resiliency, embracing perseverance and grit in ministry, in such a way that it doesn't tip over into an unhealthy state of exhaustion and overload.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Daniel Fusco on being willing to try new things for the Gospel: "A lot of it is just being willing to say, going forward, I need to rely upon the things that I know about who God is, what the Word says that he is, like, none, none of that's going to change, but how we're going to get at reaching people who are outside of the Church, that has to change because the things that we did 10 years ago aren't necessarily effective now. And because Jesus is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, we have to just embrace like, we're going to just try things, we're going to take a step."
Daniel Fusco on the source of resiliency in ministry: "One of the important things for pastors is to hang out with Jesus, not just sermon prep, not just writing the bulletin blurb from the pastor. No, it's like you spending time with Jesus spending time in prayer, that's essential for you to do the work that you do."
Daniel Fusco on being a healthy pastor: "‘God, I want to have as much energy as I can to get at your work in the most beautiful and life-giving way possible' and anything that kind of diminishes that, I need to step away from it because what we're doing is so important that it needs healthy shepherds. You know, our world, as it becomes more unhealthy, we need to be healthier than we've ever been. We need to have more clarity of thought, we need to have more emotional bandwidth to be able to walk with people through really hard things."
