Shackleton’s Lessons: Navigating Through Relational Tension:
1. Strong Morale-Building:
11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. —1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
Quote:
A crew that celebrates together stays afloat together, morale is the anchor that keeps us from drifting.

Quote:
A man’s strength is not measured by how much he carries alone, but by how willing he is to carry another.

4. Leading by Example:
1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. —1 Corinthians 11:1 (NLT)

A Biblical Example: Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark
36 After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing.” 37 Barnabas agreed and wanted to take along John Mark. 38 But Paul disagreed strongly, since John Mark had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in their work. 39 Their disagreement was so sharp that they separated. Barnabas took John Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus. 40 Paul chose Silas, and as he left, the believers entrusted him to the Lord’s gracious care. —Acts 15:36-40 (NLT)
11 Only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you when you come, for he will be helpful to me in my ministry. —2 Timothy 4:11 (NLT)
