Discipleship Reclaimed

May 4th, 2025

Mental Health and Well-Being

Jesus often withdrew to pray and rest, demonstrating the importance of prioritizing

well-being. A thriving church requires spiritually and emotionally healthy leaders

and communities. This focus calls us to create environments where clergy, staff,

and congregants can flourish holistically—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Questions for Reflection

1. Read Mark 6:30-32. Why do you think Jesus prioritized rest for his disciples

after their ministry work?

2. What can we learn from Jesus’ example about the rhythm of rest?

3. Have you experienced tension between meaningful work and exhaustion in

your own life?

4. What practices or boundaries help you protect your emotional, mental, and

spiritual well-being?

5. If you could imagine a healthier, more life-giving rhythm for yourself right

now, what would it look like?
