Session 6: Resilient Leaders

Before watching the video, engage with the necessary prompts in the study guide.

In this session, participants explore the qualities that enable leaders to grow stronger through challenges rather than being hardened by them. This lesson unpacks resilience as a vital attribute for church leadership, built through practices of renewal, vulnerability and reliance on God.

Leaders are invited to reflect on their own challenges and stressors and to consider resilience-building practices such as solitude, reciprocal friendships and a deep-rooted love for Jesus. Through biblical exploration of Paul’s writings in 2 Corinthians, participants are encouraged to find strength in God’s presence even amid personal struggles. The session closes with a focus on consistent habits that keep leaders spiritually and emotionally renewed.
