More than 4 in 10 clergy surveyed in Fall 2023 seriously considered leaving their congregation, and half felt they needed to leave the ministry (LifeWay) for reasons ranging from church conflict, expectations to perform, health issues, family struggles, despair, burnout—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What can we do? Join us as we examine the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) to discover a model for compassion, care, and continuing in ministry.

Prayer is an integral part of any ministry—ministry in the church and ministry designed to reach non-believers. Learn practical, intentional ways you can incorporate prayer into your interactions with volunteers and ministry recipients. Watch as God transforms normal into eternity-impacting.
