Healthy Rhythms for Leaders: Cultivating Soul Care in Uncertain Times
Thrive with Healthy Rhythms
We are living in challenging and uncertain times in which leaders need support and encouragement to help them learn to navigate the world we are in. Leaders too often focus on external things to the neglect of their own souls.
Authors Winfield Bevins and Mark Dunwoody wrote Healthy Rhythms for Leaders primarily to help Christian leaders care for their souls in today’s chaotic and uncertain world. Their goal is to promote healthy rhythms to help leaders connect spiritual and missional practices.
Go deeper in your personal walk with Christ with personal rhythms by creating an “Ebb and Flow” Rule of Life. Then, break through current team challenges with “Missional Design Thinking,” a process that carries the power to transform your effectiveness as a leader. Walk away with these personal and leadership rhythm tools, but also learn how to share these practices and principles with the churches and organizations you serve.
“This book contains timely words for an unusual time that can become timeless.”
— Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
“A fresh, inclusive approach to the contemplative journey.”
— Barbara L. Peacock, Author Soul Care in African American Practice
“Reading these words renewed both my missional imagination and my commitment to stay refreshed with Christ.”
— Trevor Hudson, Pastor and Author, South Africa
Winfield Bevins is the director of Church Planting at Asbury Theological Seminary and author of several books, including Marks of a Movement and Ever Ancient Ever New (winfieldbevins.com and twitter.com/winfieldbevins).

There’s a missional movement spreading all over the world calling us out of our traditional church buildings out into the community. It’s a pace of go, go, go. Always more people to get to know, more ideas to co-create. This book takes us to a different place. It reminds us to care for our souls. To prioritize that relationship with God and to sink our feet into a more rooted, contemplative way of being. It’s both a challenge and opportunity and I’m so grateful for this sweet little book to accompany me in the field.

Healthy Rhythms
I found this book very engaging. There is a real need for every follower of Jesus to develop healthy rhythms or holy habits. The authors divided their book into three parts (personal rhythms, leadership rhythms and corporate rhythms). Each section is fully explained and practical helps given to develop these rhythms. The basis for the book and all the resources that are provided focus on developing emotionally and spiritually healthy disciples of Jesus. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to practice holy habits (spiritual disciplines).
