G.R.I.T. Trainer's Manual for Ministers

For those training ministers, leading a ministerial association, or running formation programs.

What keeps ministers in the work for decades isn't calling alone. It's grit — Great Resilience in Time. And grit can be taught.

This manual walks a facilitator through building grit and training clergy to cultivate it — in themselves and in the congregations they serve. Written with reverence for the calling and realism about its attrition.

Includes: the complete G.R.I.T. framework, a scored G.R.I.T. assessment, guided reflections, and facilitator guidance for walking a group through building grit. 100+ pages, print-ready PDF.
