Call to Sabbath Lighting of the Sabbath Candles:

Sabbath candles are lit on Friday evening before sunset to usher in the Sabbath. A rabbinically mandated law, lighting of the Sabbath Candles is traditionally done by the woman of the household. After lighting the candles, the woman waves her hands over them, covers her eyes, and recites a blessing.

Sabbath Prayer:

Lord of Creation, create in us a new rhythm of life

composed of hours that sustain rather than stress,

of days that deliver rather than destroy,

of time that trickles rather than tackles.

Lord of Liberation, by the rhythm of your truth, set us free

from the bondage and baggage that break us,

from the Pharaohs and fellows who fail us,

from the plans and pursuits that prey upon us.

Lord of Resurrection, may we be raised

into the rhythm of Your new life,

dead to deceitful calendars,

dead to fleeting friend requests,

dead to the empty peace of our accomplishments.

To our packed-full planners, we bid, “Peace!”

To our over-caffeinated consciences, we say, “Cease!”

To our suffocating selves, Lord grant release.

Drowning in a sea of deadlines and death chimes,

we rest in You our lifeline,

By Your ever-restful grace, allow us to enter Your Sabbath rest,

as Your Sabbath rest enters into us.

In the name of our Creator,

our Liberator our Resurrection and Life we pray. Amen

Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals

by Shane Claiborne & Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

Session 1: Introduction to SoulCare

Objectives

1) To help us develop a relevant understanding of the nature and needs

of our own souls in order to better nurture them.

2) To help us navigate the demands for leadership so that they become

an opportunity for spiritual development instead of spiritual burnout.

3) To help us develop a theological and psychological basis for self-care

that leads us beyond “surviving” leadership to “thriving” in leadership.

General Statistics on “The Emotional Hazards of Ministry”

On repeated surveys the overwhelming majority of pastors reported that:

• They were undertrained and overworked,

• They were experiencing significant conflict and stress with

parishioners on a regular basis,

• Ministry had a negative impact on their families,

• They would leave ministry if they had a better option.

Some specific statistics re: soul!

• 70% say they have lower self-esteem now than when they entered

ministry

• 37% confessed to inappropriate sexual behavior with someone in the

church

• 50% report involvement with pornography

• 70% do not have someone they would consider a close

friend.

Ministry will always be stressful.

The Question is: How is the stress of ministry shaping you?

The prescription: 2 Corinthians 7:9-13

You let the distress bring you to God, not drive you from him. The result was all gain, no loss. 10 Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets. 11-13 And now, isn’t it wonderful all the ways in which this distress has goaded you closer to God? You’re more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible. Looked at from any angle, you’ve come out of this with purity of heart.

The Biblical view of stress is not that we eliminate it, but that we choose to allow it to draw us closer to God in a transformative fashion.

Reflection questions

1) How/when do you allow your stress to bring you closer to, or drive you further from, God?

6

“Soul descriptions” What is running your life at any given moment is your soul.

Dallas Willard, Restoration of the Heart

You don’t direct the soul. You feed it, so that the soul can direct you.

John Ortberg, Soul Keeping

2) What do you think of when you think of your Soul (words, phrases, images)? The soul is not something we have but who we are. It’s our self-conscious

identity. It has 2 functions: to energize us and to hold us together

(integrity/direction).

Ronald Rolheiser, The Holy Longing: The Search for a Christian Spirituality

3) How would you know if your soul is doing well?

4) What is your plan or routine to keep your soul healthy?

5) Who do you talk to about the health of your soul?

7

Reservoir Model (energy management) To be effective leaders over time, we must learn to recognize outflow (what drains our soul) and inflow (what truly fills our soul), and proactively balance these forces.

What drains my soul?

What fills my soul?

Why might we NOT pay attention to the condition of our soul?

Overview of 3 sources of inflow:

Self

Others

God

“How can you draw close to God when you are far from your own self?”

Augustine (500 A.D.)

“Our wisdom . . . consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves.

But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two

precedes and gives birth to the other.” John Calvin (1530 A.D.)

How many times, and where, do God and Jesus express emotions? What are those emotions?

17

Self Awareness = Soul Awareness

Soul Awareness:

Conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feeling, motives, and desires.

It’s about knowing your intentions and values, as well as knowing what can “push your buttons”

and derail you.

18

Symptoms of False Self –

1. Am I the kind of person that says "yes" when I really mean "no?"

2. Do I get depressed when people are upset with me?

3. Do I have a need to be approved by others in order to feel good about myself?

4. Do I act nice to someone on the outside, but on inside I can't stand them?

5. Do I often remain silent in order to keep the peace?

6. Do I believe that if I make mistakes myself, I am a failure?

7. Do I criticize others in order to feel better about myself?

8. Do I try to avoid looking weak or foolish for not having the answer?

9. Do I have to be doing something exceptional to feel alive?

10. Do I have to be needed to feel alive?

11. Am I fearful and unable to take risks?

12. Do I do what others want, so they don't get mad at me?

13. Do I use knowledge and confidence to cover my feelings of inadequacies?

14. Do I want my children to behave well, so others will think I'm a good parent? (We can all say yes to that!)

15. Do I compare myself to other people?

“Grant, Lord, that I may know myself, that I might know thee.” Augustine (500 AD)

“The prayer that precedes all prayers is, may the real me meet the real you.” C.S. Lewis

“Pastors don’t get into trouble because they forget that they’re pastors.

Pastors get into trouble because they forget that they’re people.” Arch Hart

COMMUNITY TEMPERATURE READING EXPLANATION Pete and Geri Scazzero - Adapted from Virginia Satir

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Leadership Conference April, 2010

The goal of this skill is to create a healthy culture through (1) Sharing positive aspects about one another (2) providing language that decreases assumptions and judgments and encourages exploration (3) Being honest about negative things impacting you, suggesting possible solutions in respectful ways and (4) keeping current with what is going on in one another's lives. Take turns.

There are five parts to the "Community Temperature Reading." Start at the bottom.

1. Appreciations or Excitements: Appreciations are about the positive aspects of life together - what is good about others or what they have done. Scripture invites us to see people as image bearers of God who share in His beauty. On a practical level we can reflect the beauty of others, whether its family members, friends, spouses, co-workers, neighborhood acquaintances... 'I appreciate that you called to check on me'. Excitements give us a chance to express that which delights our souls. 'I'm excited about having this week off to 'chill'; 'I'm excited that my work project will be finished this week'. The sharing of excitements gives us windows into one another's souls.

2. Worries, Concerns or Puzzles: People often do not express worries or concerns for fear of appearing inadequate or stupid. We hold them inside ourselves and then make erroneous assumptions about people and situations. 'I'm worried that I won't have enough time to complete my college applications before Friday'. Puzzles are closely related to worries and concerns. It is easy to jump to negative interpretations about events going on around us. Scripture teaches us "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." (Matthew 7:1). Expressing a "puzzle" enables us to avoid assumptions, negative interpretations, and judgmentalism. 'I'm puzzled as to why it took you so long to reply to my email?' If there are things you don't understand or need clarification about, ASK. Sharing our worries, concerns and puzzles prevent unhealthy assumptions or faulty thinking from turning into unnecessary resentments.

3. Complaints and Recommendations: The purpose of complaints and recommendations is to help each person be aware of and take responsibility for the small irritations and annoyances that arise every day, and share them maturely. When they are unspoken, they can unconsciously LEAK out. When spoken poorly, they can become destructive. This is not about arguing about or solving concerns but to hear each other, learn to negotiate and perhaps agree to disagree. Here the person with the complaint takes responsibility for coming up with a possible solution, speaking the truth in love (Eph.4:25). Use the format, "I notice that ... and I would prefer". 'I noticed that you are leaving your lights on when you are gone. I would prefer if you could check that they are off as you walk out of your room'.

4. New Information: This can take many forms - events, appointments, new decisions, achievements, opportunities, activities. This ensures no one feels excluded or passed over. Relationships can only grow when people know what is happening in each other's lives - the trivial as well as the important. When we are heard, we feel validated and better about ourselves. 'I passed my math quiz today'!

5. Hopes and Wishes: This moves to the immediate future. A hope that is not verbalized has little chance of being fulfilled. Many of us have not learned to talk about our hopes and wishes and yet they are significant parts of who we are. Sharing hopes and wishes are windows into your unique soul. Family life, in particular becomes richer as we support and listen to each other's hopes and dreams. 'I hope I get invited to attend the music boosters' kickoff meeting this week'. 'I wish I could learn to type better'.

24

PROTECTION: BOUNDARIES

Objective: To protect our souls from unnecessary energy "leaks" that come from pleasing people instead of serving them.

Theme Verse:

"No one takes my life from me, I lay it down when I want to.” (John 10:18)

1. What demands (work, family, house, etc.) are currently stretching you thin?

2. Contrast Aimee with Jesus. When did Jesus say no?

• Did any of these examples enlighten, challenge, or surprise you? If “Yes,” which?

• How do you see freedom reflected in boundaries?

25

3. How do we know when we should say “No” vs. when we should say “Yes”? (Galatians tool)

• “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if

anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load.” (Galatians 6:2-5, ESV)

• Galatians 6:2, “Bear…

• Galatians 6:5, “…bear…

• Translation: “I am responsible for me. And I am responsive to you.”

“I am responsible for my choices, emotions, and wellbeing, even when you are pressuring me, and you are responsible for yours.”

4. How do we know when should we say “No” vs. when we should say “Yes”? (A B C Tool)

• ABC model of navigating "requests."

A = “Absolutely, I'm happy to.” B = “Because I love you, I’m willing to.” C = “Can’t do it without resentment.”

• Do you rationalize non-assertiveness in the name of “servanthood” or “sacrifice?”

• Where might you be rationalizing your "giving?”

(Hint: Check for resentment.)

5. What are some boundary issues you need to / would like to address?

Session 4: Relationship with God

Opening video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj2ofrX7jAk

Objective: To help leaders develop a “inflow time” that renews their heart, mind and soul

such that their concept of devotions moves from an obligation to a meaningful and creative encounter with God.

Write your response to the following questions: 1) What is the purpose of your “quiet time”? 2) What do you actually do? Why? 3) What are the primary obstacles you face in maintaining a rhythm? 4) How effective is it in terms of achieving your stated purpose? 5) What is your usual emotional response when you go through a prolonged period without one? 6) What changes would you like to explore on how, when, and where you enjoy your relationship with God?

One suggested change: viewing your “quiet time” as __________________. Purpose: To enlighten our minds, lighten our loads, widen our hearts, animate our wills, and provide fresh possibilities in daily life (creativity).
