Summer Survival

NADCE (National Association of Directors of Christian Education)

This month’s episode, hosted by Katie Morgan, Shelli Haynes and many special friends and colleagues features a discussion about surviving and hopefully thriving during the summer where mission trips, VBS, and planning combine with regular ministry. If you’re wondering out loud (or quietly to yourself) why the calling as a DCE is yours, remember that God will work some amazing things through you all this summer and He will be there with you every day. We pleased to share some great stories of the not so spectacular moments in ministry as told by Paul Nelson, Cori Woltmann, Eric Oswald, Matt Nieman, Jan Steinbrueck, LeAnn Miller, Mark Engelhardt, Laura Arndt, Tara Hess, and Matt Hire. So enjoy the tips and stories of preparing for summer ministry including helpful and not so helpful hints such as making sure you’ve stocked up on frozen meals, setting boundaries because they’re important, and prioritizing your own Sabbath rest.
