Exercise 4 Building Resilience

Your team will need to establish healthy patterns of ministry as you work together to plant and lead your church. It is vital that your team is aware and as prepared as they can be for the physical, emotional, and spiritual demands of church planting and how you can maintain healthy patterns together. Instructions Take time to discuss the questions below as a team toward developing an action plan to establish healthy patterns of ministry. 1. What spiritual rhythms do you need to prioritize developing within your team (Sabbath, Retreat, Prayer, Fasting, Time in the Word)? 2. How can your team support and encourage the development of healthy family rhythms? 3. What people are in place to support and encourage your team in developing healthy spiritual and family rhythms? If your team does not have them, how will you grow your support system? 4. Are there any trainings or tools that would be helpful for your team? 5. Based on the seminar on resilience are there any patterns or things we are doing that need to change?
