You Gave Everyone Else a Full Cup. What About You?
You know the feeling. Sunday is over. You poured yourself out, gave the encouragement, carried the conversations, held the weight of other people's hard weeks, and somewhere in all of it, you ran out. Everyone else went home fed. You went home empty.
And then Monday comes anyway. Maybe Sunday is not even your heavy day.
Maybe you lead an online community where the messages never really stop, or your ministry looks more like a steady seven-day-a-week current than a single Sunday peak. The day may be different, but the feeling is the same.
You help everyone, all the time, and somewhere in there, you quietly empty out.
If you have ever sat in your car or at your kitchen table, already tired before the week has even started, this is for you. Not because something is wrong with you, but because this is what happens when you spend yourself on people week after week and never get a turn to be poured back into.
Here is the quiet truth most ministry leaders carry alone. You are very good at caring for everyone except yourself.
You will make time for the person who is struggling, the volunteer who needs encouragement, and the family in crisis. But are you running on empty? That gets pushed to "later," and later never comes.
We want to change that. So we built something for the person behind the calling.
𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 is a weekly half-hour set aside for one thing: you.
Not your to-do list, not your next event, not the people you serve. You.
It is a space to be honest about the parts of leadership nobody sees. The tiredness. The weight. The questions you do not feel safe asking out loud anywhere else.
You will sit with others who understand it firsthand, because they are living it too, and you will start the week reminded that you do not have to carry all of it alone.
We put it on Monday on purpose. However your week runs, Monday is a fresh start, and most of us hit it already worn down rather than rested. So before the new week pulls you back under, we meet you right there and help you reset.
A Few Things You Should Know
It is short. Just half an hour, because we know your time is not your own, and we are not here to add another long obligation to your plate. Thirty minutes to breathe, then back to your week.
It is private. Most of what happens in our community is out in the open, and we love that. But this is different.
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 sits behind our Premium membership on purpose, because a space where you can be honest about the hard parts only works if it is protected.
What is shared here stays here, and we do not record these sessions. There is no pressure to perform, and nothing leaves the room. 𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. If you post a comment saying DM me details, Todd will reach out and connect.
Bi0vocational ministers we have you covered! There are morning and evening sessions, so whether you are full-time in ministry or working alongside your calling, you can choose the time that works for you.
You Are Allowed to Be Cared For
Somewhere along the way, many of us picked up the belief that tending to ourselves is selfish, unspiritual, or a luxury we have not earned. It is not. You cannot keep pouring from a cup that no one ever refills. Caring for the person behind the calling is not a distraction from the work. It is what makes the work last.
So come as you are this Monday.
Tired is welcome.
Honesty is welcome.
You are welcome.
We will save you a seat.
