Manifold Witness: Hope for the Exhausted

Description

Exhaustion – are you feeling it? One more thing? Are you kidding me? As practitioners of faith and resurrection hope we ground ourselves in an inexhaustible God. Why is it then we feel so exhausted?

This workshop is designed as practical hope for church workers who are exhausted. The theology of scripture reveals an inexhaustible God but that does not propel or compel
us to run on empty. Come to study and share, to pray and to learn new practices. Come for a framework that offers hope beyond burnout, compassion fatigue, weariness, and their collective exhaustion. We will ground ourselves in stories from the Gospel of Luke as we find pathways to refreshment in our love for God and neighbor.
