Center Group: A Gospel-Centered Cohort for Healing and Hope
Ministry life can look full on the outside while feeling empty and exhausting on the inside. Many leaders quietly wrestle with burnout, anxiety, or unfulfilled longings—wondering why they aren’t okay when everything else seems fine. The good news is that God loves to intervene. He specializes in writing “But God” stories.
This 12-session cohort, Center Group, is designed to create a safe space for pastors’ wives, ministry leaders, and women in church life to encounter the gospel in fresh ways. Through honest conversations, practical Parakaleo tools, and Scripture, you’ll learn how to bring your heart back to the truth of Jesus—again and again—no matter what your circumstances look like.
Each session is hosted via Circle and lasts 90 minutes.
Together we will explore themes like:
-
Recognizing burnout and finding true rest in Christ
-
Naming longings and living with grace in the “already/not yet”
-
Hearing Jesus’s voice above all others
-
Bringing sin and shame honestly to the cross
-
Writing and sharing your own “But God” story
By the end of the cohort, you’ll walk away with:
-
A renewed ability to apply the gospel to everyday struggles
-
A personal toolkit for navigating stress, sin, and longings
-
A safe community of women who understand ministry life
-
Greater rest, hope, and freedom in Christ
This is more than a study—it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and be reminded that healing happens through the gospel, plus safety, plus time.
