In the Garden of Gethsemane, while Jesus travailed in prayer, His disciples fell asleep at the moment He needed them most. Their failure wasn't moral-it was preparation. They were exhausted when they should have been alert, vulnerable when they should have been vigilant."Guarding Your Gethsemane" reveals a truth that could transform your ministry: rest isn't retreat-it's warfare. When ministers neglect seasons of restoration, they leave themselves defenseless against the very temptations that destroy callings. Dr. Delisa Rodgers combines powerful biblical exposition with hard-won ministry wisdom to show how spiritual fatigue creates spiritual vulnerability. Through the lens of Christ's final hours, she exposes the dangerous pattern of broken-down spiritual oil that causes good ministers to make devastating decisions when pressure mounts. This isn't another book about work-life balance. This is a prophetic call to understand that your next level of effectiveness may depend on how well you guard your current season of rest. Learn to recognize God's oil press, respond to angelic ministry, and rise with renewed strength for the assignment ahead. For every minister who has ever felt crushed by the weight of calling, scattered by unexpected attacks, or tempted to quit when the pressure became too great-this book offers both explanation and hope. Your Gethsemane isn't your grave; it's your garden of preparation for the glory ahead.
