Episode 21 - Physical Health

U40 Ministry Leaders Podcast

One thing that a lot of ministry leaders, especially younger ones, take for granted is their physical health. We're young, we're still active, we play pickup ball or run 5Ks, and we still have our original knees and shoulders. We're not facing pacemakers and dentures, so we often overlook and ignore taking care of ourselves physically. But as pastors, we have a responsibility for our physical health because when we're not in good health, we're not able to be as effective as God would have us be in our churches. If we're constantly sick or dealing with major issues, we can't spend time investing in people or preparing to preach.
