Leaders Leak

By Sarah Beth Lindberg

Leaders leak. Isn't that obvious? Well, not entirely. It can be a slow leak and not as noticeable. But eventually the leak leads to complete drain. Which leads to burn out.

As leaders entrusted with much it is our responsibility to fuel up as much as possible. We can't wait for others to fuel us up. We have to recognize when we need to stop, regroup and refresh. It doesn't make you a bad leader if you leak. That's part of the job. We pour out for others everyday, even more so than we fill up at times.

But if we never fill up, we eventually become depleted and lack the energy to give to those who need it. We have to take Sabbaths. Not just one a week. One a day. Even if it's 5 minutes. An intentional 5 minutes in God's Word or stopping to hear His whisper will fuel you up enough to handle the steady leaks in your day.

You are not called to give from your strength and ability. You are called to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. His overflow through you fills others up. When you take time to fill up and center yourself in Christ, you leak Jesus. Not your skills. Not your time. Not your strength. Not your energy. You leak the power of God through your choice of surrender. Your availability to Him is all He needs.

He will fill you up and sustain you through every leaking season if you just choose Him over anything else!

We, at The Priceless Journey, see our leaders who fight in this daunting fight for many others. We want to be a source of encouragement to you as well because you are on the frontlines. So, we created a booklet to encourage you right where you are at and help you rediscover the joy of leading.

Maybe you lost the joy in leading along the way like I did in the endless tasks that never seem to get done. Maybe you just need a reminder that it's ok to delegate responsibilities to others. Maybe you need a moment to remember why God chose you to lead this endeavor. Maybe you just need to be refreshed and revived for the work you are called to do. No matter what you need in this season, we are sure this little booklet will pack a fresh fire for you.

May you catch a fresh vision for the ministry you are called to lead and be reminded that you have what it takes to lead this ministry! You are not alone! God is with you every step of the way and He will give you exactly what you need for every step ahead. We are with you in this journey and want you to know we see you, we are grateful for you, and we celebrate you!

Thank you for all that you do, so that one more can experience true healing, freedom in Christ, and redemption in their storyline!

Your Sister in Christ,
Sarah
