Emotionally Healthy Leaders

Hannah Rowen Fry, author and preacher from Jacksonville Beach, FL, met with ministry leaders at La Viña this summer, guiding them through Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter and Geri Scazzero. This powerful book about discipleship, in addition to the rest of the Emotionally Healthy series is available in both English and Spanish.

Twelve leaders from La Viña met weekly for a month to discuss spiritual practices they can do to keep them emotionally healthy. Together they practiced “being with” Jesus before “doing for” Jesus, beginning each session with two minutes of silence. They also had homework each week of daily devotional time, to build their ideal Sabbath, and reflect on their faith and life, allowing God to redeem even the oldest pains of their past.

Hannah is the author of the EMPOWERED Mission Trip Devotional Journal which features 10 devotionals based on Scripture, journal entries from missionaries around the world, and prompts to reflect, pray, and journal before, during, and after a short-term mission trip. All proceeds from the book go toward supporting missions.
