Question of the Week: How Do You Care for Your Soul?

Every Tuesday morning, the staff at Fellowship Bible Church meets together to pray for each other and our congregation. As part of our morning prayer, we read through a chapter from the book Replenish by Lance Witt where he talked about the difference between our "front stage" ministry life and our "back stage" ministry life. The point he was making is that people in ministry spend a significant amount of time on their "front stage" life, but often times neglect their "back stage" life. We neglect caring for our souls?I know that I have felt this before. I become so busy with the work of ministry, the busyness of home life, of school, that I push aside the time of quiet meditation, prayer, and reading I so desperately need. After reading through the chapter this morning, we spent some time asking each other the question, "How is your soul?" It's a question I probably don't think of enough.With that in mind, how do you take care of your soul? If we cease caring for our soul, then our public life will eventually crumble. So what are some of the ways you take care of your soul? How can we keep our private spiritual lives strong?
