“Every time you listen with great attentiveness to the voice that calls you the Beloved, you will discover within yourself a desire to hear that voice longer and more deeply. It is like discovering a well in the desert. Once you have touched wet ground, you want to dig deeper.”

― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

Soul care is at the center of pastoral ministry. Yet, in recent months, the challenges faced by pastors in caring for and nurturing the spiritual lives of others has been overwhelmingly difficult and challenging. Many pastors find themselves spiritually depleted and exhausted, wondering about their ability to live into their vocation in such turbulent times. Tending to one’s spiritual life is essential for living into a vibrant, meaning filled vocation of ministry.

Join other pastors and spiritual directors in a time of sharing and rediscovering spiritual resources essential to thriving ministers.
