Topics Sister Care explores:
Claiming my identity as God’s beloved
What we believe about our personal worth and identity mamkes a difference in how we care for others.
Caring for Self and Others
Caring for others is costly. We need to set limits and nurture ourselves as we minister to others in our homes, congregations, and communities. |
 | Compassionate listening
Compassionate listening is spiritual work that can help transform brokenness and grief.
Transforming loss and grief
God's healing often happens in the context of a caring congregation of people who have done their own healing work, have learned from their experiences, and grown in compassion for others. |
