Scenario

When faith communities become overwhelmed by collective suffering

Our small group has been meeting for prayer and study for three years, but two members are going through divorces and one just lost her job and we're all drowning in each other's pain instead of finding the strength we used to. Nobody wants to say we need a break but we're all burning out.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sacred community can become a well that runs dry when everyone draws from it and no one tends it.
