into the deep

The only way out is through…

But what do you do if you are a pastor or leader in pain?  How do you move through your pain as you lead?   The church, even in the subtlest of ways, has communicated that pastors and ministry leaders should hide, isolate and deny their true self ...the broken, messy and vulnerable parts that are a daily struggle.  In doing so, this leaves many ministry leaders feeling disconnected, alone and empty.  Unprocessed pain creates problems.  What if there were another way to lead?  What if we didn’t have to hide any longer?  What if we could go deeper into our pain, face it, and lead through it?  

This retreat is a call into the deep.  This is a space for ministry leaders to learn how to invite the people they serve into the unpolished areas of their lives.  In doing so, deeper connections and more authentic relationships can thrive.  When we work through our pain we create more intimacy with God and can be present with others in their pain. 

A call into the deep is risky, but when you go with others who have already been there it is less lonely.

We invite you into the deep.
