Pastoral Soul Care

"Iron sharpens iron,

and one man sharpens another."

- Proverbs 27:17

Pastoral Care is our one-on-one connection with pastors and ministry leaders. The objective of Pastoral Care is to encourage authentic worship, wise stewardship, and healthy relationships in the leader's life in regular one-on-one meetings. It is the cornerstone of the work we do at BetterDays. In this personal care program, practical wisdom and Christ-centered perspective confront the daily struggles of leadership, stirring and provoking the ultimate questions of the heart.

• We offer pastors a refuge in times of struggle as well as a preventative effort in their personal development.

• Pastoral soul care combines elements of counseling and discipleship.

• These meetings are confidential. In some cases the counselor may find it helpful to involve spouses, children, or co- workers in the process.
