Description

Shepherd Life Cohort for Pastors & Ministry Leaders The purpose of the Shepherd Life Cohort (SLC) is to provide an interactive small group experience for Christian pastors and ministry leaders who want a safe place to: 1) Discuss challenging areas of ministry, and 2) Determine practical “next steps” tailored to their lives and particular situations in ministry. Through assigned pre-reading and reflection thoughts/questions, monthly group discussions, and individual time with the cohort director, participants will hopefully grow in their personal and ministry lives, their relationships with fellow “shepherds,” and most importantly, in their relationship with the Chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. This cohort is for ministry leaders (pastors, church/ministry staffs and boards, missionaries, etc.) who have either previously participated in the Shepherd Life seminar, or who have a desire to grow in their personal and ministry leadership. 2021 Schedule and Topics: (10am – 12pm; first Wednesday of each month) February 3 | Calling: Discerning when God is calling “to” and calling “from” a ministry position March 3 | Creating the Future with God: Promoting corporate unity through shared identity, purpose,vision, core values, and dreaming with God April 7 | Servant Leadership: Leading like Jesus vs. the world’s way May 5 | Taking Care of Your Family: Making sure your spouse and children remain your first congregation June 2 | Dealing with Conflict: Expecting and dealing with conflicts in ministry July 7 | Sheep Bites: Ministering to difficult people August 4 | Wounded Healers: Dealing with stress, burnout, and past hurts due to ministry September 1 | Temptation: Recognizing Satan’s temptations and responding with God’s helpLocation: Parkside Church Green (4520 S.
