Who is watching your back?

A leader carries quite a load. Without healthy self-examination and accountability, a leader will shoulder more than he or she can bear.

In this all-new two-part series, author Kevin Harney equips leaders to meet external demands of ministry, family and community by strengthening internal resources.

Recognizing that so many gifted and passionate leaders end up on the sidelines of ministry, Harney calls attention to the most critical aspect of ministry: the inner life of the leader.

Based on the book by the same name, this program is your essential guide to conducting your own complete interior health exam: spot and fix any problems, preserve the things that matter most, and develop vision, strength, and hope to impart to others.

In Part I, leaders will learn what it really means to bear the yoke of Jesus.

"We face twin spiritual realities" says Harney. "His yoke is easy and his burden is light, and we are called to take up the cross and follow Jesus."

Invite your team to unpack this often confusing paradox. Leaders will learn that carrying the yoke of Jesus means:

• Discovering the power of "no."

• Receiving the gift of Sabbath.

• Building a network.

• Making room for self-examination.
