Our relationship with boundaries has a direct impact on our capacity to serve joyfully and faithfully rather than shutting people out, people pleasing until we burn out, or neglecting what God has entrusted to us. Join Melissa in Part 5 of our Strength for Service series as she sheds light on the connection between boundaries and our ability to serve with strength.
Have you ever withheld service because the would-be recipient seems unworthy or unrepentant? Lindsey challenges the mindsets that might contribute to this attitude and points us to Jesus’ example of serving extremely flawed people without reservation.
In week three of our Strength for Service series, Melissa sheds light on how perfectionism is a major roadblock to joyful, sustained service. We’ll discuss the difference between perfectionism and pursuing excellence, three sinful attitudes that lead to perfectionism, and the spiritual antidotes for these attitudes.
How should we as Christians go about renewing our energy to serve others? Most types of modern self-care only address our physical and mental/emotional needs, but true renewal is only possible when we also attend to our spiritual rest.
