Hello! I'm Eric, your ChurchSource Account Manager.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and I want to take a moment to thank those who serve faithfully week after week, especially amidst all that has been going on in our world. Pastors pour themselves out for their congregations—and this month gives us the chance to encourage them and ensure that our leaders are mindful of their mental well-being even as they care for those around them.
Helping Maintain Mental Well-Being
At ChurchSource, we’ve found that the most meaningful gifts aren’t just tokens of appreciation—they’re resources that support pastors in their calling while maintaining their own health. That’s why I want to highlight a few proven resources that your church can use this season:
Mental and Emotional Help Books
Attacking Anxiety—Shawn Johnson shares an honest picture of depression and anxiety and shows readers how to fight back and live free.
The Emotionally Healthy Leader—Are you finding yourself too overwhelmed to enjoy life? Do you feel stuck? Peter Scazzero shows leaders how to develop a deep, inner life with Christ that helps in overcoming stress.
Resources for Friendship and Physical Well-Being
Every Body Matters—Taking care of our bodies is an important way to take care of ourselves, leaving us room to be there for others. Gary Thomas shares stories of people physically changing their bodies, leading to spiritual changes with lasting impact.
The Body Teaches the Soul—Justin Whitmel Earley teaches about the union of body and spirit in our overall health. Join this journey of wonder and well-being to reconnect with your whole self and repattern your life in the image of the God who made you.
Books on Family and Marriage for Pastors and Leaders
The Pastor's Family—Brian and Cara Croft identify the unique challenges that pastors face as husbands and fathers. They also discuss the difficulties and joys of being a pastor’s wife and offer practical advice on raising children in a ministry family.
The Marriage Devotional—In this devotional, Levi and Jennie Lusko take turns showcasing the highs and lows of marital relationships and how God uses them to foster a deeper love and a more solid foundation.
Helping You Find Resources for Your Church
We want to make sure that everyone is attending to their mind, body, and spirit. These bestselling resources can help you ease the stress of planning for ministry.
Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table—Bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio unpacks Psalm 23 to offer insight into how to overcome the enemy's lies and find peace and spiritual security in any circumstance or situation.
The God You Need to Know—Margaret Feinberg provides 12 practices that will help you deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit as she uncovers the Spirit's work throughout the Old Testament.
Undistracted—Distractions can get you stuck in the past, worried about the present, and frazzled by any future you could possibly fret over. It's time to discover how to get undistracted in all aspects of your life in this study by Bob Goff.
These resources honor and empower pastors and other leaders to lead from a place of health and well-being in all areas of their lives. And during the Fall Ministry Sale, you can save 15% on orders of $100 or more with code MINISTRY15.
