Self-Care & Soul Care

A very important part of self-care is that of “soul care.” We cannot overcome inner struggles in our own power. One of the greatest builders of self-esteem is understanding who we are in Christ and how He views us as His child. So, to be all we can be as leaders (male or female), is to have constant communion with Jesus. As Christ followers, we know this; hopefully, we have set up the discipline of daily study and communion with the Lord. As a leader, especially for a woman entering the male-dominated ministry world, it is critical to our ability to lead and play well with others.
