PALS Study Topics — ‘Finding Balance and Setting Boundaries between Work and Home’

Rev. David C. Fleming and Mrs. Jo Marie Fleming.

Module: Pastoral Care

In this course, Rev. David Fleming and his wife, Mrs. Jo Marie Fleming, discuss the challenges to balancing life between church and home for pastors. The course examines a few missteps in maintaining boundaries, considers some options, and offers a few boundaries that have helped some in intentionally choosing where to be and when, what to do and not do, when and how to say “No”, preserving time for family and rest, and being liberated from constant guilt. The goal is to initiate an ongoing conversation about the constant challenges of time pressures.
