Nurturing Non-Anxious Presence in Life and Ministry
May 13, 2025 // 9a-3p
Location: Franciscan Renewal Center - Scottsdale, AZ
Almost all of us have experienced times when we’ve been drawn away from loving presence with others. Anxious ways of being (often undetected or unrecognized in the moment) can become our default as we encounter everyday situations and relationships. In our ministries, this can shape our approach and lead to burn out. On this soul care day, we will explore the invitation of Christ to non-anxious presence, identify our own anxious ways, and learn what it means to nurture a non-anxious life in Christ. Teaching, spacious time to personally reflect and pray, discussion, and sharing will all be a part of the day.
Led by: Ted Wueste, John DelHousaye, and the SFSAZ Team
