Today's question comes from a pastor, and is: "How can I maintain a good rapport with my family when I'm so busy leading this church?"
Our Christian Ministry Maven for this episode is Patricia Jehle, a university instructor in Switzerland and a business coach.  Patricia points out the why and how of making your family a priority when involved in a busy ministry. In this QT4CM episode she outlines a strategic approach for sustainable work life balance:

Take time to reflect and assess your personal and professional values.
Prioritize "God first, your family second, and your ministry third.
Reframe ownership and responsibility for success:  It is God's ministry, not yours.
Organize conversations with family and ministry stakeholders to clarify expectations.
Proactively set home and work boundaries.
Schedule time first for God and family in your daily agenda, then add work tasks.
