We all use crutches.
Teachers use crutches. Especially at the end of the term or when they are getting snowed under by marking or report writing.
Videos. Worksheets. Textbook work. Recycled lessons. Online learning content.
Those in ministry also use crutches, especially in the crazier times of the liturgical calendar like Easter.
YouTube clips. sermon recordings. Lesson outlines. Packaged curriculum.
We all need crutches.
They help us when we are burdened or have a limp.
But, we aren’t meant to live on them permanently.
Crutches must be tossed aside, stored away for times of need once we are in a time and space of health.
This is their purpose.
Any other use is a sign that you need to reevaluate how you’re doing things or take a season away and refresh.
