Our Pastors Day needs assessment indicated that Christian leaders feel least equipped to deal with burnout and life balance issues. Thrive’s Renewing the Flame series has proved to be invaluable for Christian leaders in avoiding the all too common issue of burnout. This life changing material can be discussed one on one or in a seminar setting.
Do you ever feel isolated or lonely? Would you like to have deeper authentic relationships with others in similar church leadership roles? Perhaps you and your spouse would like to develop some deep friendships with other pastoral couples? Do you long for a deeper connection with God in community with other leaders? One of Thrive’s small groups may be just what you are looking for.
Join other pastors and ministry leaders as you cultivate a deeper walk with God, develop and practice the principles of soul care, and build authentic community. Each retreat is 3-4 hours long and includes teaching, spiritual practices, personal time of solitude and silence, group sharing and prayer ministry time.
Soul Focus Retreats (Scheduled)
Each half-day retreat will include breakfast (in-person sessions only)*, teaching, prayer, silence and solitude for listening, personal reflection, and small group interaction.
