Advance | Raised Forever: Avoiding Burnout / Caring For Your Soul – Zack Eswine

Seminar | Avoiding Burnout: Caring For Your Soul – Zack Eswine

How do we make sure that we last the distance in ministry? Achieving a balanced approach to ministry is not always easy, and each year the expectations and responsibilities seem to just pile onto anyone in ministry. Whether it is preaching, care of members, leading youth, leading worship or even doing children’s ministry, the pressure seems to grow. In this seminar, Zack talks through biblical principles plus his own learnings in over 25-years of ministry about busyness, rest and balance in Christian ministry.

Zack Eswine

Zack Eswine is the pastor of Riverside Church in St Louis, Missouri, where he has served since 2008. He teaches homiletics at Covenant Theological Seminary and serves on various boards and
committees. Dr. Eswine is the author of several books, including Kindled Fire; Preaching to a Post-Everything World, which received the Preaching Today Book of the Year Award; Sensing Jesus: Life and Ministry as a Human Being; Spurgeon’s Sorrows; Recovering Eden; and, most recently, The Imperfect Pastor. He is married to Jessica, and they have three children. Zack and his family have visited NZ a few times before. You can find out more about Zack here: www.zackeswine.com

Advance | Raised Forever: Five Dysfunctions of a Team – Neal Vinson

Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Since the first time you engaged in any team sport as a child, you probably learned this truth: teamwork can be hard. Sometimes one kid wants to have the ball all to himself, and other times players disagree on responsibilities. Even for adults working together is difficult. Politics, ego, and mistrust get in the way of building a well-performing team. An efficient team truly is greater than the sum of its parts, especially in the area of Christian ministry. Exceptional teamwork can provide a church or ministry team an opportunity to both share the gospel and display the gospel as it maximizes its impact in its community. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is a powerful tool for anyone who works on a team. This process identifies five dysfunctions that hinder teams from performing at their best and provides useful strategies to overcome them. I’m convinced that any team who learns how to avoid these dysfunctions will be amazing at what they do.

Neal Vinson

Neal serves as pastor of Redeemer Grace Presbyterian Church in Auckland, runs Alliance of Market Leaders, and also leads a roundtable for business owners. Neal has worked as a university campus team director, a pastor, a lay leader, and a business owner with 25 plus employees. He has been a part of great functioning teams as well as bad. These experiences give him insight on how to address the dysfunctions on your team. He is married to Jennifer, and they have four children scattered between NZ and the USA.
