Cultivating Clergy & Laity Well-being

Feb. 15, 2023

Christ UMC (Franklin)

10:00 a.m.-3:00-p.m.

God intends for us to live an “abundant life” in which we flourish in God’s love. Recent research on clergy well-being reveals that the stories that shape our personal and pastoral identity play a critical role in our well-being. During this workshop we will: 1) move beyond the concept of self-care toward a theological vision of flourishing, 2) challenge and revise the stories that leave us languishing, 3) explore self-compassion in the process of story revision, and 4) move toward crafting hopeful future stories.
