It was great to return to Sydney Missionary and Bible College 8th – 12th July for a full intensive week teaching the Australian College of Theology Course PC073 on Self-Care and Resilience in Ministry.

The course included Biblical reflections on self-care and resilience, understanding the unique stresses and dynamics of ministry, managing adversity and crisis in ministry, rest, supportive relationships, the role of emotional intelligence in self-care and resilience, and more.

The notes and resources made available to students through the course are on the SMBC moodle interface.

EPIC – Anglican Diocese of Melbourne

Tim and I were with the EPIC (Equipping Priests in Charge) training program for the Diocese of Melbourne at St. Hillary’s Kew on Tuesday.

This was a day focused on Healthy Ministry. We explored the unique dynamics of Christian ministry and its occupational hazards and then spent time reflecting on areas of vulnerability and their implications for self-care.

The brainstorms we conducted today and the presentations we worked through are all listed below.

The files themselves are available to participants through the EPIC program Dropbox.

Welcome

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on
The Christian Leadership Exchange

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange
