Pastors: Stop Doing 80% of What You’re Doing!

32 minutes

If you're a pastor, much of what fills your week may not be bearing the fruit you think. It’s easy to get stuck on a hamster wheel of tasks—some self-imposed, others added by others—that drain your energy and resources over time.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re exploring why most leaders should STOP doing 80% of what they’re currently doing. You may be facing your biggest opportunity yet to reset your schedule and refocus disciple-making in your church.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Why doing less may be the key to your church’s future.

The difference between physical exhaustion and emotional depletion.

How to identify your true values and what truly motivates you.

Practical steps to create your "stop-doing list."

Get started here…

From this episode:

"We all have only so much physical time and capacity, but we also have a limited supply of emotional capacity to spend each day and week. If you’re maxed out on both time and emotional energy, you will hate your life, have very little to give your family, and will hide and/or die under a pile of exhaustion and never have time for making disciples in community in your everyday life."

Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
