Are you haunted by the ghosts of Christians past? Have you been left without a word or a trace by dear friends and comrades in ministry? Are you still jumpy from pitched battles over masks and mandates, politics, or race?

The painful conflicts and breakups of ministry are constant but nothing could have prepared us for the past two years. Failure, shame, anger, burnout and gut-wrenching loss are common stressors for God’s appointed leaders and these factors are compounded when we don’t know who to talk to and we can’t afford therapy.

Here is an alternative: Let’s get together for a week in a rustic, scenic, Northwoods setting and give each other our pain, our care, and our prayer. Let’s gather together to minister to one another in the loving presence of Christ. Speakers will briefly introduce key concepts for reflection and listening prayer. After a time of solitude, we will gather in well-facilitated small groups to pursue healing as the Holy Spirit works through us. There will be no experts, no pricey fees, and no bogus hype. Just Jesus and us in the wilderness, agreeing to be vulnerable and present, in mutual submission out of reverence for Christ.
