Can we move beyond burnout, ?

Burnout is not the only story. We know stories of thriving and flourishing!

This week, we are sharing part 2 of our conversation with author Callie Swanlund. 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 asked Callie about what it looks like to live into ministry in a sustainable and wholehearted way. She has two big keys needed for unlocking ministry that is sustainable. The first is having space to be your full creative self. The second involves a “scandalous question.” Now you have to watch it to find out what that question is, right?!

Finding your way, this summer?

What if your leadership group, Sunday School class, clergy cohort or deacon group tried finding our way together? 

This summer, let's think about the changes we have experienced. 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. Check out the Finding Our Way Study Guide:

Got a summer writing project? Whatever you are writing - sermons, books, curriculum, essays, poetry - we would be happy to welcome you take a seat at the Writing Table! Monthly and annual memberships are available. And every week on #FreeWrite Friday, anyone can join us at no cost! For a solid hour of getting your writing done!
