In this weeks C3 Church Global Podcast, great friends Ps Phil Pringle and Ps Shane Baxter sit down to discuss the huge topic of leadership, life balance and wellbeing. Ps Shane (Enjoy Church) opens up about hitting a season of burnout and depression, and how he found healing through rest, support, and refocusing on what truly matters. Be inspired and equipped by this life-giving, vulnerable reflection, and gain valuable insights in order to set up and maintain vitality and longevity in ministry. Mental health matters in ministry - this is reminder to take breaks, lean into community, deal with disappointment, and know our limits. God doesn't call us to save the world, but to run our race well. Our worth isn't determined by our productivity, but by our identity in Christ.
For the past 25 years, Ps Shane and Georgie, have lead Enjoy Church through a season of significant growth and influence. From humble beginnings of 40 people, to now a multi-site church across Australia, Japan and Cambodia, with over 6000 people and over 100 nationalities represented.
We are so thankful for Ps Shane. Whether youâre a church leader or simply feeling overwhelmed, Shaneâs story reminds us that itâs okay to not be okay, and that healing is possible with the right support.
âJust because thereâs a mountain it doesnât mean I need to take it. Learn where your voice is required. We can try to take mountains that God isnât asking us to take... We can't save everybody, and we only get into trouble when we try.â - Shane Baxter

New Book: âOnly Believe: Chapter Oneâ
While many authors write about lessons theyâve learnt from others, what sets this book apart is Shaneâs transparency about the life experiences which shaped him, and the amazing multi-site Church called, Enjoy Church. This inspirational, informative, and faith-building book sets out his and Georgieâs remarkable ministry journey. Shane is celebrated not only for his infectious personality and sense of humour, but also for his compassion and love of people. Typical of his authentic preaching and teaching style, he shares about the highs and lows of being in ministry, whilst giving insight into his greatest personal challenge, his own heart. âONLY BELIEVEâ is more than just a story. Itâs a testimony of what God can do and wants to do in and through all of us.
âOnly Believeâ is available to purchase in Australia through Koorong, in person at any Enjoy Church location, or via Amazon. https://amzn.asia/d/5DIYvWo
