Taking care of ourselves is something that many of us do not excel in, whether it’s our emotional, physical, spiritual, mental, or relational health. It is easy for us to complete tasks, excel in our jobs, or even be a “super server”, while in the process neglecting the care of our soul. If we continue going without any form of rest, self-care, or margin, we will eventually burn out. How can we live more intentional lives around tending to our souls? Join the conversation as Deb Hinkel who is the Director of Spiritual Formation and Family Ministry at Hershey Free Church speaks into this needed conversation.

Living in a productive and healthy (1) work environment, (2) family, and (3) team seems harder and harder to come by.
