Rush Witt and Joe Keller show pastors how to think biblically about time, diagnose common struggles, and build sustainable rhythms for long-term faithfulness and joy in their calling.

Time is a precious and finite commodity. Are you stewarding it well? As a pastor, your work moves fluidly between study and solitude, counseling and crisis care, administration and leadership, plus a series of daily interruptions, not to mention your family and home life.
