Numerous studies from entities such as the Lilly Endowment, Pew Charitable Trusts, Duke University, and the Barna Research Group have consistently named the lack of soul care and self-care as a factor in clergy burnout, and noted that clergy are often not consistently confident about their self-development/self-management. Healthy, effective leaders make soul care and self-care a priority; ministries are only as healthy as their leaders. You cannot draw life-giving water from empty wells or cracked cisterns! One of the ways that CCCW supports clergy leaders is through our Personal Development Network: a diverse group of qualified spiritual directors, therapists, and executive coaches who can create safe and sacred space for individuals to tend to and nurture their spiritual, emotional, and vocational health.
