Designing a Rhythmic Week for Senior Leaders

Description

More than 20 years ago, Ministry Architects founder and veteran ministry leader Mark DeVries created the Rhythmic Week framework in the context of youth ministry. This adapted resource helps senior leaders take back control of your calendar while leaving space for imagination and joy in your ministry.

The guide includes suggestions on how to arrange your week to accomplish the duties of your pastoral role without feeling urgent, overworked, and stretched thin.
