She provides practical advice for avoiding burnout while highlighting the importance of taking care of your spiritual, physical and mental health. We also discuss the effect this can have on the family and much more.

- It is important to focus on God's presence and truth rather than being influenced by circumstances.
- Perfect love casts out fear, and we can overcome fear by aligning our minds with Scripture and trusting in the Fatherhood of God.
- Praying through in the Spirit is a powerful tool to overcome fear and experience the provision and peace of God.
- Fear weaves itself with the circumstances of life, causing torment and stealing peace, joy, and blessings.
- Living in sustained victory over fear requires a revelation of the Fatherhood of God and a consistent prayer life.

Today we have a special episode for you. While I was in Singapore I was able to meet with the ACTS team. Now full disclosure, our church uses the ACTS church management system and has been for a number of years. I am not sponsored by ACTS and have no financial interest in whether their system is adopted by your church.
That being said, I love their product and especially the fact that this church management system has been designed by Apostolics for Apostolic Churches.
Today we talk about why ACTS is different than other church management systems, how they came about developing ACTS, why every church should have a CMS, and much more.
If you are interested in finding out more about ACTS, check out the following link and let them know that The Hacka Podcast sent you.
