With the impending election cycle amplifying a politically divided nation, worldwide turmoil around issues of warfare and justice, and the struggle for many ministries to respond to a culturally polarized landscape, 2024 is shaping up to be a year full of challenges for ministry leaders. How can we avoid the burnout (physical and emotional exhaustion) and flameout (moral failure) that are all too often the result of seasons of challenge and stress for ministry leaders?

Join psychiatrist, speaker, and award-winning author, Curt Thompson, MD as he shows us how God transforms our suffering into lasting peace.

Let’s examine the unbalances in our lives and ministries and see how the Gospel of Jesus can transform our weaknesses into strengths.

Conflict is one of the top sources of discouragement and burnout for pastors and ministry leaders. We live in a culture where conflict is ubiquitous. Some in our society have modeled an “us-vs-them” mode of interaction that has normalized ad hominem argument and an inability to listen to those with whom we disagree. Many don’t know how to have a respectful conversation. 

You have probably noticed that this inability to deal with conflict in a healthy, mature manner has invaded many of our churches. How can we build emotionally healthy relationships and navigate conflict well amid this unacceptable, ungodly polarization? What are some tools we can use to help disciple people?

How to Suffer Well: 5 Lessons I Wish My Church Had Taught Me

She will share her powerful story of how misconceptions and wrong theology almost robbed her of a sense of purpose during her fight with cancer, and why the Christian discipline of lament is crucial to our spiritual and mental health. In addition to Liz's talk, there will be a time of facilitated discussion on suffering and a practical workshop on how to design a lament.

Don’t waste your pain! During the last few years of the pandemic, pastors were impacted in many profound and painful ways as we faced difficult challenges, divisive rhetoric and tragic circumstances. Have you stewarded the time to really reflect and learn from the past? Or, will you repeat mistakes or learn from the past? In this interactive workshop we will address the leadership impact, challenges, and opportunities we face as we move out of the past two+ years of change, turmoil, and division into the future that holds new opportunities for the gospel, refreshed priorities, healthy growth and mature discipleship. How do we navigate this new era of ministry leadership with wisdom, being good stewards of our own hearts and our ministries?

Thursday, October 20th | 10:00 A.M. - 1:30 P.M.
