A sanctuary for clergy wellness
Every pastor knows the quiet weight of leading through uncertainty. Sleepless nights. Silent doubts. The steady outpouring of care while running dry inside.
Even shepherds need rest. Even leaders need sanctuary.
You Are Not Alone (YANA) is a national initiative created especially for clergy serving congregations.
This virtual gathering offers a sacred pause, a space to breathe, pray and be renewed alongside colleagues who understand the realities of ministry today.
Rooted in the spirit of ABHMS’ signature Space for Grace & Spiritual Caregivers Conference, it extends that circle of care into an ongoing rhythm of support.
A sacred pause for this moment
In a time marked by anxiety, division and fatigue, clergy need more than information. They need spiritual companionship.
Each gathering offers:
Guided prayer and attentive listening
Honest conversation with trusted peers
Practical tools for sustainable ministry
Real-time access to supportive resources
Encouragement for resilience and renewal
This is not another webinar. It is a community of presence.
How each session unfolds
Our time together moves through five integrated practices:
Intervention: Prayer, lament, and tangible support
Inspiration: Brief reflection or testimony
Interaction: Breakout dialogue and shared wisdom
Information: Timely guidance from trusted leaders
Ignite: Self-care practices and next steps
Together, we remember what ministry can make us forget. Grace meets us where we are.
