We have a mental health crisis in the church, and it's not just affecting our congregations—it's affecting our church leaders too.
As pastors, we often find ourselves running on empty. The pressure to be perfect is high, but being human means that perfection isn't possible. And when we're not perfect...we feel like failures.
Thrive & Cultivate provides an online summit for pastors and ministry leaders that will focus on both—the mental health of our church leaders as well as how we can help those around us who are hurting or suffering from depression or anxiety. It also includes resources to equip churches with the tools they need to care for their own communities and members while helping them live healthy lives themselves!

You don't want to miss out on this on-demand event. It's a fantastic resource filled with great people who are passionate about helping others live well, both inside and outside the church walls.
