Are you chasing the wind? Studying Ecclesiastes to Balance Work, Life, and Calling
What they walk away with
Clarity
A simple framework to evaluate work, ministry, rest, and family commitments without guilt or drift.
Breathing room
A weekly rhythm participants can test immediately between sessions instead of waiting for “someday.”
Follow-through
Space to reflect, implement, and return for coaching so the workshop creates change, not just notes.
Work-Life-Ministry Balance Workshop Sessions
The workshop is divided into two 90-minute live sessions so participants can test one change in the space between the meetings and come back with real insight, not just theory.
Session one
Foundation and honest diagnosis

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to attend both sessions live?
Yes is ideal, because the format is built around implementation between the two Wednesdays. If you plan to offer replays, note that here as a backup rather than the main experience.
Is this only for people in formal ministry?
No. It is for business owners who want to integrate work, family, faith, service, and rest more faithfully, whether or not they hold a church leadership role.
Will this be practical or devotional?
Both, but with an emphasis on practical application. The workshop is grounded in Christian conviction and expressed through realistic decisions, boundaries, and rhythms.
Can teams or couples join?
Yes, if that suits your delivery model. You can adapt this section for individual tickets, spouse pricing, or small team bundles.
