Key Takeaways
1) It’s not a “badge of honor” to ignore your own personal emotional health for the sake of the ministry.
2) The Sabbath should emphasize doing things that replenish your soul.
3) We need people in our lives who can tell us the truth about things they see in us that we often don’t see in ourselves.
4) For the first time I can remember, it’s now ok to seek help and/or counseling if you realize you need it. The stigma of “getting help is a sign of weakness” has slowly dissipated over the last couple of decades.
