Overcoming Leadership Fatigue: The Power of Faithful Perseverance
In this episode of Leading 10, Chris Moore addresses the challenges of feeling worn down by leadership roles. He explores the moments when effort seems futile and progress feels stagnant, and offers encouragement by referencing Galatians 6:9, which emphasizes not growing weary in well-doing, as a harvest will come in due time. Moore underscores the importance of faithfulness, focusing on the mission rather than immediate metrics, and incorporating self-care practices to prevent burnout. He reminds leaders that weariness is a sign of humanity, not failure, and encourages them to stay the course, trusting in the unseen work of God. Listeners are inspired to reflect on their motivations and stay faithful to their calling, knowing that their efforts are not in vain.
