Quotes from Deborah:
Set healthy boundaries when you start out in ministry and stick to them.
Have a clear, written-down job description for the Senior Pastor. Have realistic expectations.
If you're not taking good care of yourself, you're not going to be healthy enough to serve others.
Make sure your team members feel like it's okay to say "I need some help."
