Leadership is a marathon, not a sprint. In any and every environment, leaders today are under tremendous pressure. Our founders‘ background - and primary interest - is leadership in church contexts, but much of what is said here applies to leadership in other settings as well. The emotional and spiritual health of leaders in churches today is dangerously low, and the stresses and temptations they are facing is dangerously high.
This web site is part of the ongoing work of recoveryremixed.com, an organization devoted to applying the timeless wisdom of recovery to today’s challenges. In it, we will not only offer information about the challenges leaders are facing today, we will offer solutions. These solutions come in three forms:
- Leadership coaching groups led by Mark Brouwer. We believe that every leader needs to be part of a support and accountability group that is (a) facilitated by a trained coach and experienced leader (b) a safe place to be honest - and therefore ultra-confidential (c) made up of like minded peers who you can relate to, learn from, and enjoy being with (d) outside your church structure.
- Individualized consulting and coaching for pastors and churches. Sometimes leaders need someone to help sort through challenging situations … especially during times of crisis and transition. We are available to offer consultation for (a) pastors facing crisis as a result of ethical/moral violations (b) pastors experiencing burnout or uncertainty about next steps in their work (c) church boards wanting to establish guidelines for church staff support and accountability.
- Booking Mark Brouwer as a speaker for a pastor’s gathering or event at your church. Mark is an ordained pastor, prepared to offer teaching on a variety of topics, including healthy leadership, sexual purity and sexual health, and spiritual issues in recovery.
