Holy and Healthy – those two are connected. Emotional health powers spiritual holiness. When leaders are not emotionally healthy, under stress, angry, hurt, in need of support – the enemy lurks. We are created human; a mystery full of wonder as the scripture declares. Being holy is far more than doing or not doing things. It is about patterns of worship, intake of the Presence of the Lord. It is about recognizing the season we are in (including high stress moments) and making sure we are doing the self care, play and pray, that keeps the heart strong.
People often think accountability is the key to holiness. It is important, even essential if we are asking these types of questions, “What are you doing in this season to stay healthy? What are your rest patterns? How are you playing? How is your family? How are you “intaking” from the Lord?”
