How about a love letter, ?

We are celebrating a new book for clergy and lay leaders: From Weary to Wholehearted is landing soon! This “love letter” from Rev. Callie Swanlund is a remedy for these days of clergy isolation, exhaustion, and burnout.

Callie is a regular participant at our 3MMM Writing Table. For the past year it was a joy to watch her put time each morning to plan, propose, and complete her new book, From Weary to Wholehearted: A Restorative Resource for Overcoming Clergy Burnout.

I interviewed Callie recently, and I want to share the first part of our interview with you today. In this 10 minute segment of our conversation, she shares about her own past experience of burnout and how she navigated her way out of a toxic situation. 

Finding your way, this summer?

As many denominations and congregations are finding their way forward in this season, we know it helps to have a way to work through that. 

We are living in a new era. We need to think about these changes. We need research-based guidelines for this new era. Our communities of faith need to explore how to live into the new season with creativity, grace, and pastoral imagination. Try out the "Finding Our Way" Study Guide with your leadership group, Sunday School class, clergy cohort or deacon group?

Join us Friday at the Mini Retreat!

What could be better than a writing retreat that requires no packing, no travel, no leaving your own favorite writing spot? The retreat includes a planning document, support and camaraderie of fellow writers, and supportive coaching.
