Do you feel stuck?
It's easy to become stuck in patterns of thinking, being, and doing that no longer best serve ourselves and the people we're called to serve. When we get to this point, we need a reset, where we can review what's actually going on in our lives and ministries. We need to rethink our attitudes, assumptions, approaches, and actions as we discern what a preferred future looks like for us. Then we need to reimagine and reinvent a better, brighter future using road maps that help us navigate our next steps in life and ministry.
