This is FREE for NWO Pastors and staff. Non-NWO can attend for $25. \n\nThe reality of Mental Weariness stems from pressures that feel ever-present over a long period of time. These stressors can stem from being constantly needed\, always “on”\, seeking and failing to meet expectations\, dealing with an unpredictable schedule\, navigating frequent conflict\, decision fatigue\, walking through multiple losses\, and feeling disappointment with people or progress.
