Breakout Sessions
Breakout Sessions will be lead by the staff of Foundations Family Therapy. They have a team of licensed therapists located in Cary, Clayton, Fuquay Varina, Garner, Pittsboro, Pinehurst, Raleigh and Wake Forest. Their therapists have a variety of specialties, but are all passionate about the same thing: helping people live full, abundant lives.
Anxiety Is Contagious: Pastoring with Clarity in Anxious Systems
Anxiety moves quickly through congregations and leadership systems, shaping conflict, urgency, and burnout. In this breakout session, pastors and ministry leaders will explore how anxiety spreads through tone, posture and reactivity and how pastoral presence can either amplify or calm it.
Participants will learn the difference between differentiation and detachment, along with practical tools such as the pause, body awareness, and defining self without attacking others. The session will also highlight counseling as a supportive space for pastors to process reactivity and lead with greater clarity, steadiness, and faithfulness in anxious seasons.
Burnout, Boundaries, and the Reality of Ministry
Ministry is meaningful and exhausting. This workshop creates space to name the emotional, spiritual, and physical weight many pastors and church staff carry but rarely talk about openly. Participants will explore what burnout actually is, why ministry uniquely intensifies it and how exhaustion often shows up in everyday life and leadership.
The session reframes boundaries as faithful stewardship rather than selfishness, drawing from both practical examples and the model of Jesus’ own rhythms of withdrawal. Attendees will be invited to reflect personally, engage in small-group conversation and consider what healthy support can look like, including counseling as a wise and confidential resource. Participants will leave with greater clarity about their limits and concrete next steps toward sustainable ministry.
