Dustin Neely at The Resurgence has been working through a series of posts entitled “5 Hard Truths for Church Planters“.
I’m not a church planter, but today’s post caught my attention. It hits something that I am faced with on a daily basis (and you are, too):
Stress.
Pastor Wayne Cordeiro has a great principle called “The Plate.” Every leader has a certain-sized plate based on their skills, gifts, life season, health, etc. Not all our plates are the same size, and that is the way God designed it. Trust that God made you who you are to do what you can do and leave it at that. Realize that a lot of your stress comes from the fact that you have a salad plate stacked with a buffet plate’s amount of food. Repent. Resize. Repeat.
