Damage Control: The quick counseling session for pastors, ministers, and missionaries in crisis mode

Where do leaders go when they need advice? When you are the spiritual leader of your church or ministry, where do you turn when you, yourself, are struggling?Senior pastors need support and encouragement, too. Leading a church or ministry is one the most difficult jobs in the world. In these pages, Richard M. Salazar Jr., senior pastor and church planter, provides encouragement and practical advice that gives pastors permission to take care of themselves and then helps them do it. Many pastors aren’t used to giving priority to their own needs, but the reality is, if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have the strength to take care of others.In these pages, Salazar tackles practical subjects such as ensuring your overall health, combatting loneliness, and developing good time management. He is also not afraid to tackle the really tough issues, such as protecting your wife from the church (yes, we said that), resisting sexual temptation, and dealing with emotional and clinical depression. The book includes an encouragement section, key Scriptures, and devotional questions to keep you focused and create a plan.Don’t wait. Start taking care of yourself today!
