How to Finish Well in Ministry - Mark Dance - 66 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry

None of us start off in ministry thinking you know what I'm going to burn out. And yet burnout happens. So what can we incorporate into our lives and ministries to help us not only lead well, but also finish well? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Mark Dance, Director of Pastoral Wellness at GuideStone Financial Resources. For 27 years, Mark served as a pastor and church planter and also helped launch Lifeway Pastors and the Care for Pastors Network. His latest book is entitled, Start to Finish. Together, Mark and Jason look at some important practices we can incorporate into our lives to help ensure that we do not veer off course in our ministries. Mark also shares some fresh insights about how neighboring well helps us flourish in both life and ministry.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Mark Dance on the importance of pastors allowing others to help them: "It’s counterintuitive for pastors to ask for help because we're caregivers… but we’ve got to let people help us."

Mark Dance on recognizing that working in ministry can be challenging and that there will be periods of time when things go more smoothly than others: "Accept the fact that ministry is hard and some seasons are going to be better than others."
