Half of all church leaders say they are ‘often’ or ‘frequently’ lonely, and one-in three lack close friends. The risks are high: isolated pastors are more prone to burnout, while those with close friendships have lower anxiety and depression
and are nearly twice as likely to stay in ministry. This two-day retreat will address the unique barriers church leaders face to help you make your friendships thrive. Through story, discussion and reflective exercises, you’ll
discover practical ways to form and deepen friendships. Sheridan Voysey is an author, broadcaster, and founder of FriendshipLab.org.
