Four Ways to Stay Fresh in Your Ministry

What do we do when standing face-to-face with a teenager who suffers the crushing blow of not fulfilling a dream or with an employee who cannot seem to settle in on a job? What may we say to someone who looks at life and wonders, "What is the sense of it all?" How do we witness one more couple become man and wife without questioning if they are going to make it one year or ten years? Is "'till death do you part" a pipe dream?

John Powers gives us four ways to stay fresh during dark days of the soul?

1. Keep on Abiding

2. Stay Accountable

3. Remain Faithful, Teachable and Available

4. Rest in the Lord
