Why Made for More:

 

  • Leading in ministry is hard. The expectations can be unrealistic. The demands often drain us from the joy of serving. What was once an exciting call to serve the Lord, turns to discouragement, or feelings of inadequacy, or a loss of purpose and passion. As one who is expected to have it all together, we can feel like we are pretending as one who struggles to be all God has made us to be.

  • We do still have agency and can choose a path towards healing and well-being. As Christian leaders we can decide to seek help in order to renew and refuel our soul. Inviting a safe and trustworthy guide is essential.

  • Made for More Ministries was formed for this purpose - to come alongside Christian leaders who feel the stresses and strains of ministry and offer support through coaching, counselling or other resources. These approaches are fueled by the desire to help Christian leaders reach their full potential and discover how God has more for their personal well being.
