In a field where you are constantly pouring out and meeting the needs of others, it can be easy to neglect yourself. However, caring for yourself as you lead a ministry shouldn't just be a well-intention, it is critical to make it a way of life. Today's show is for all of you that have had the well-intentions, but have struggled with caring for yourself.

Mark and Christine Satterfield join Ben and Lynley to discuss the importance of self-care and taking care of one's health, especially for pastors and ministry leaders. They share their own experiences of working out together and adapting their routines with young kids. They emphasize the need for intentionality and finding pockets of time for self-care, even in busy ministry schedules. Ministry leaders must prioritize their health and model healthy habits for their staff and congregation.

Throughout this conversation you'll hear how small changes can make big differences and practical tips for incorporating new habits. Check out the show links below for the great resources mentioned. Thanks for sharing and listening to a friend!

If you're a regular listener to The Glass House, then you've heard plenty of wives speak to the topic of supporting their husbands in ministry. But what you haven't yet heard is how a husband can also be their wife's biggest cheerleader and supporter when she is the one in vocational ministry.

Jen Wilkin and her husband Jeff, join Ben and Lynley on The Glass House to discuss their ministry journey and the dynamics of their marriage as Jeff supports Jen in vocational ministry. These two dive into the topic of envy and insecurity in ministry and have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom for couples who may find themselves struggling when one person's ministry is thriving more than the other's. Jen emphasizes the importance of serving where you are, while Jeff highlights the need to be a cheerleader for your spouse and support their calling. Through sharing their personal experiences and challenges, they share the importance of staying informed to details, the value of maintaining a work life balance, and the significance of having genuine friendships.

Happy Southern Baptist Convention Eve! Over the next few days Southern Baptist Churches from around the country will come together in Indianapolis and will debate about key issues involving our churches. Recently Ben preached a sermon from Romans 14 and we thought it would be perfect to publish it on The Glass House. It is not uncommon for christians to be passionate about their positions and opinions and not agree with one another. We hope this episode encourages every listener to keep the most important things at the center: the resurrection of Jesus, the power of the Gospel, and the unifying grace that God gives to all of us.

If you would like more on this topic, a few Lifeway authors wrote an incredible book, World On Fire: Walking in the Wisdom of Christ When Everyone's Fighting About Everything. Check it out!
