Staying for Good

Speaker: Jeff Dunn-Rankin

One of the most fascinating paradoxes of ministry is this: Those who are prepared for how hard ministry is, often and mysteriously, are those who discover it’s not as grueling as they thought. After working with thousands of ministry leaders, we’ve discovered the habits and mindsets of the people who stay in it for the long haul – and love it. This workshop is loaded with practical tips for doing ministry with more joy, more hope, and more endurance.

Choosing Joy

Speakers: Jeff Dunn-Rankin

Some people seem to exude joy. You’ve seen them. We have discovered that for them, joy is a choice. For them, joy is a decision. Their joy is not dependent on the conditions around them. Their delight flows from three teachable habits that create a wellspring of joy that any of us can draw on no matter what’s going on around us.
