When a pastor is called to lead a church replant or revitalization their family should remain their first line of ministry. Thom and Mark discuss five rules for taking care of your family in a replant or revitalization.
- Make certain they are your first line of ministry.
- Pray with them.
- Get their input; listen to them.
- Do regular check-ins
- Don’t sacrifice your family on the altar of your ministry.
