Synopsis

Whatever you need to finish the race, God has already provided.

Marathon runners are known for their endurance-they train, they master the habit of discipline, and they persevere through pain. Fortunately, even marathons end. If you have picked up this book, you are likely running a marathon of your own-the marathon of ministry leadership.  

The Endurance Factor will transform you into a ministry athlete! In this book, Lead Pastor Greg Surratt and Pastor of Leadership Care Chip Judd of Seacoast Church provide ministry leaders with practical wisdom and hope to help them finish the race strong with a captivating double narrative. You will learn practical principles about how to:

• Fight for your spiritual well-being by embracing the discomfort of vulnerability 
• Invest in your ministry without sacrificing your relationships 
• Get painfully honest about your character flaws without losing sight of God's unfailing grace
• Build teams on the basis of God's enduring love to create a culture of resilience

Your primary ministry is to rest in God's love, the love that conditions the weary soul to win every race set before you!
