The Weekly Online Gathering for ELCA Leaders continues every Wednesday, 1 pm Central, 12pm MST. Links to the meeting at elcacoaching.org as well as archives.

In this historical moment, when the cumulative global, social, political, economic, and family pressures, uncertainties, losses, and fears can be completely and utterly overwhelming, how do we find the courage and power to do the thing we think we cannot do — whether that be getting out of bed in the morning or marching out in the street at night?

In this session (3 of 6), Rev. Solveig Nilsen-Goodin will invite us into a prayer practice based on Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane — a prayer that can help us find our power in powerlessness, a prayer that helped Jesus find his way through overwhelming grief to the courage and power to do the thing he thought he could not do.

To watch the previous two sessions:
