مەرقۆس 32:1-36

Self-discipline—whether with your time, food, or money—is a good and God-honoring thing. But it can easily become an ultimate thing and thus turn into a soul-sucking idol. How can you avoid crossing over to the dark side of discipline? That’s the question you’ll answer in this 3-day reading plan.

Research shows that thirty-five percent of pastors and ministry leaders are experiencing burnout. I believe that God is grieved when people pursuing kingdom living wind up overwhelmed, fatigued, and burned out. This three-day reading plan offers scriptures, encouragement, and clear ideas to help stop the slide into burnout and preserve the joy you have in your call to ministry.

Tony Evans gives you a book summary for each of the Gospels in this four-day reading plan, helping you to gain a broader understanding of this important section of the Bible. 

Holy leisure is about finding rest and enjoyment in God’s presence, even when life’s circumstances are hard. The Gospel of Mark is full of examples of Jesus exemplifying this restful dependence on his Father, even when exhaustion, storms, and interruptions threatened to thwart his will. Experience a life of holy leisure as you learn to live, rest, and trust, like Jesus.
