Processing Pain as a Planter & Pastor

Being Pastor or Planter involves embracing a ministry vocation that includes a consistent encounter with the conflicts and challenges most spend their life trying to avoid. While leading people to the beauty of Christ, we concurrently face the tragedy of betrayal, grief from unending losses, and pain from emotional assaults. 

What happens to our mind, soul, and body from this ongoing work? 

We need spaces to process the hurts we carry within us, and to behold this suffering long enough to allow it to be healed by God. We need helpful tools for unpacking our pain so that our path is not marked by own hemorrhaging wounds. 

Join us for a free webinar February 26, 2020 at 2 PM EST as we explore Processing Pain as a Planter & Pastor with Kevin Sweeney, Lori Ruffin and Dan White Jr.

IN THIS WEBINAR WE WILL EXPLORE:

• Solidarity for the pastoral journey

• Self-awareness for examining personal pain 

• Solid tools for moving towards healing
