A Holy Week Pause: A Guided Meditation for Church Leaders

As the sacred and full days of Holy Week unfold, Thriving Leadership Formation offers something small—but deeply meaningful—for those carrying much: a gentle, 10-minute guided meditation crafted especially for church leaders.

In the flurry of sermon writing, worship planning, pastoral care, and spiritual accompaniment, it is easy to overlook your own need for rest. This short reflection, created by Desta Ronning Goehner and her team at Thriving Leadership Formation, invites you to breathe deeply, reconnect with God, and find grounding grace in the midst of this holy season.

You are not alone. The One who calls you continues to accompany you. This meditation is a space for your soul, created with love for those who give so much.
