Helping Ministry Leaders Thrive Through the Challenges of Ministry Leadership
The Spiritually Healthy Leader
Coming April 28, 2025 Pre-Order Now
Most ministry leaders and Christians don’t usually implode from outside pressures, but rather, we are most often sabotaged by our core commitments, or “ruling passions,” that serve as functional idols, permeate every aspect of our being, and can hijack our marriage, relationships, and ministry.
The Spiritually Healthy Leader is a practical guide for those who desire to live wholeheartedly for Christ but are trapped in an endless cycle of discouragement, shame, and sinful, self-defeating behaviors. Dave Wiedis helps readers uncover the root causes for these patterns of defeat and offers the path to deep life transformation, freedom in Christ, and deliverance from self-sabotage of the heart.
Having witnessed the pressures of ministry and the devastation that results from a lack of pastoral care for Ministry Leaders, Dave Wiedis felt compelled to found ServingLeaders Ministries. In addition to his full-time counseling practice, he regularly speaks at churches, pastors’ conferences and retreats.
Dave gave me permission to be honest about where I was, and to be able to begin to take off the layers of expectations that people put on [ministry leaders]. One of the greatest gifts that ServingLeaders gave me was permission to say, ‘where you are matters, who you are matters, and getting well matters. And you’re the only one who can do that.’
