Deacons & Church Leaders
Come before the meeting — let the One whose Church it is set the agenda.
The congregation needs the version of you that has sat with God before sitting in the meeting.
You know the meeting that ran long, the decision that did not have a clean answer, the family in the congregation whose situation you have been quietly carrying in prayer? Underneath is a quieter question — about who tends to the one tending the church, when the church is the one being tended to. This journal sits with that quieter question. Five honest minutes a day that belong only to you. The work does not get less weighty. But you start it from a place that has been met first, and the weight stops being only yours to carry.

About this collection
This collection is written for deacons and church leaders specifically — not adapted from a generic devotional and not retrofitted to fit. Every journal in it is shaped around the invisible work of stewarding a congregation and the leader whose faith life cannot be only sermon prep.
