Finding Creative Ways of Renewal

For pastors and educators, renewal is vital to help combat the drain of an overfull, often stressful workload.  Ways of finding renewal will vary greatly from person to person.  Many pastors have experienced the joy of renewal through peer groups, in which pastors enjoy studying books, attending conferences together, sharing experiences, and engaging in a variety of other group activities.  Renewal can also come through unintentional means, and sometimes it is the “simple act of people getting together to share life [that] brings renewal.”
