Introduction: Sacred Chaos..., Processing Pain, Recovering Passion and
Experiencing Journey
Part I.
Journey Inward
Chapter 1. Sharing Pain...Are you willing to share your own pain with
others? Do you know when to let your pain plumb the depths of your soul,
allowing the pain to help you grow spiritually? Are you sensitive to when
it is possible to move beyond your pain to experience newness in life and
ministry?
Chapter 2. Maintaining Passion...How do you maintain your passion in your
ministry? How do you experience passion? What do you feel when you lose
passion?
Chapter 3.A Healthy Balance...Do you seek to live a wholistic life, caring
for body, mind and spirit? What are your physical disciplines? What are
your mental disciplines? What are your spiritual disciplines?
Chapter 4 Power and Control...Have you dealt with your issues of power and
control? How do you lead without becoming controlling? Do you understand
the Servant Leadership model?
Chapter 5. Sensitivity and Burn-Out...Are you able to maintain your
sensitivity to others without experiencing burn-out? Do you know the
warning signs of burn-out? Do you understand the importance of professional
boundaries?
Chapter 6. Knowing Who You Are...Are you honest with yourself and others
about your gifts and ministry expectations? What is your personal
credo...what you believe and why you believe it? What is your spiritual
autobiography?
Part II.
Journey Outward
Chapter 7. Nurturing Community...Are you finding ways to nurture community,
even as religious institutions face political and doctrinal division? How
are you addressing the issues surrounding gender inclusivity and ethnic
diversity? How are you making internal adjustments to the rapid external
changes?
Chapter 8. Maintaining Perspective...Do you understand that institutions
cannot love you back? Do you maintain a healthy balance between your
personal life and corporate life? Do you allow what you do to define who
you are?
Chapter 9. A New Institutional Landscape...How are you addressing the
issues associated with the "Nones" and the "Dones?" How has the Pandemic
changed the ways that you do ministry? What are the issues centered around
justice for the poor and racial equality, and how are you and your faith
community addressing them?
Chapter 10. Personal and Corporate Spirituality...Are you and the
institution that you lead and serve growing together spiritually? Does the
institution you serve provide you with the necessary spiritual challenges
needed to keep your ministry vital and alive? Is it a joy, and do you find
passion when you are in your faith community preaching, teaching and
care-giving?
