• Based in Northwest Arkansas, Dr. Ronnie Floyd
is committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus
Christ around the world. Maintaining a strong
focus on evangelism and discipleship, Dr. Floyd
counsels church leaders on dealing with
disappointment in ministry. He emphasizes
practical ways of getting through challenges

3. Christian Leader
• Dr. Floyd recommends “embracing the battle” first
through setting one’s eyes on Jesus, who never
disappoints, and gaining strength to minister and
persevere. Instead of carrying around resentment and
bitterness, Dr. Floyd encourages those in ministry to
maintain a firm commitment to creating a circle of
love, in which life's disappointments are simply shed
and practical work toward new beginnings undertaken.
Instead of looking backward, choose to surge forward
above those who have hurt you. Through forgiveness,
the pettiness of the everyday can be transcended, with
an eye toward larger prizes.
