Ministry is demanding, and when you’re not healthy, everything else suffers. In this episode of The Deep Dive, we unpack Clay Scroggins’ Four Behaviors for Becoming the Healthiest Version of Yourself, revealing how your internal world shapes your leadership impact. If you’ve been running on empty or just need a spiritual and emotional reset, this episode offers practical rhythms to help you lead from a place of strength, balance, and peace.

Main Ideas 

• Find Simplicity: Ruthlessly prioritize your purpose and learn to say “no” to distractions that don’t align with your mission.
• Speak Truth to Yourself: Replace self-doubt and overcommitment with honest, faith-filled internal dialogue.
• Press Pause: Embrace Sabbath, fasting, and intentional rest to build trust that God’s work continues even when you step away.
• Get Quiet: Create space to hear from God and recognize what’s really going on inside you and around you.
  
  

Why This Matters

Healthy leadership starts with a healthy leader. When you make space for simplicity, silence, and rest, you not only strengthen your own emotional and spiritual life—you empower your team and your church to thrive from a foundation of authenticity and presence.
