by on If you serve people in your community and feel like you’re carrying the weight of the city on your shoulders, Redemptive Poverty Work is a field manual to help you be helpful without hurting yourself or those you serve.
Most resources focus on the work: systems, sociology, and methodology. Very few speak honestly about the worker: Savior Syndrome, Functional Atheism, secondary/vicarious trauma, numbness, and what it actually takes to remain emotionally and spiritually healthy in your calling. This preconference event, hosted by World Impact is built around a simple but profound conviction: Christians serving those experiencing poverty burn out not because they don’t care enough, but because they carry more than they were meant to carry. It’s time to talk about the Three-Legged Stool (Spirit, Stress, and Skills) and why you can’t stand on skills alone.
Register for this session if you’re seeking a sustainable, redemptive path forward and reimagine your work as sacred and transformative.
