Self-Care: A Necessity, Not a Luxury

Taking care of yourself is not selfish—it is stewardship. A weary pastor cannot effectively lead, preach, or shepherd their congregation. Your church needs you to be healthy—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Prioritizing self-care enables you to serve with endurance, joy, and strength. ~ Camille Ellimac-Raheem
