Ministry asks a great deal of those who care for others. Over time, even the most faithful leaders can find themselves carrying more than they realize.
Will Your Anchor Hold? is a six-part series with Rev. John Borthwick exploring what it means to care for others without losing yourself in the process. Drawing from his own story, years of ministry, practical tools, and current research, John reflects on burnout, compassion, resilience, and the practices that help us stay grounded through the joys and challenges of ministry.
If you've ever wondered how to keep serving for the long haul while caring well for yourself too, we hope you'll join us for the journey.
