These sessions provide an understanding of how stress works and how our perception dramatically affects the amount of stress we feel. They also supply strategies from God's Word on how to manage stress well. We look at scriptural examples to see how Jesus and others handled stress. Practical applications help individuals learn how to lower the stress that is under their control, and learn to better manage the stress situations they cannot change. Maintaining Margin Margin is a sufficient reserve of time, energy and money to provide for our needs and the needs of others.
Margin is as essential as food, air and water.
This session begins with a small group Bible study, looking at examples from Jesus' life and discussing principles we learn from Him. One serious consequence of not maintaining margin is burnout. Participants take a Burnout Inventory to discover where they are. Through small group and whole group discussion as well as reflection, participants begin to build their own strategy to maintain more margin in their lives. The growing moral breakdown among Christians is alarming.
