Leading Alone Is Draining: Why Faith-Based Therapists Need Sacred Community
In 1744, John Wesley gathered a small group of Methodist preachers in London for what would become the very first Methodist annual conference. Their goal wasn’t to impress each other with ministry stats or build personal platforms. They came together to connect, to learn, to be honest about the struggles of their calling, and to find strength in shared mission.
That’s what we Methodists call holy conferencing—and it still matters.
In fact, I believe that’s exactly what happens at the Wise Practice Summit. It’s not just networking. Not just professional development. But a sacred moment where we lay our work, our worries, and our weariness before God together.
If you’re a faith-based therapist or group practice owner who feels like you’re carrying a lot right now, keep reading. This gathering might be what your spirit—and your strategy—desperately needs.
You’re Not Lazy. You’re Exhausted from Leading Alone.
Let’s be honest: private practice can feel isolating. You pour into others all day. You hold space. You carry stories. And when the day ends, you’re often the one left figuring out:
How do I grow this thing without burning out?
Am I even supposed to scale, or is that chasing the world’s version of success?
Where are the people who get what it’s like to be a Christian therapist and business owner?
Most business spaces feel too “secular,” while some Christian spaces don’t get your entrepreneurial drive. So you end up bouncing between the two, piecing together advice that doesn’t quite fit either your faith or your work.
That’s why the Wise Practice Summit was created.
It’s not fluff. It’s not hustle culture.
It’s Kingdom-minded wisdom for people who are called to both serve and lead.
What Is Holy Conferencing—And Why Do You Need It?
John Wesley believed that when believers gather in intentional, Spirit-led conversation, the result isn’t just connection—it’s transformation. He called it Christian conferencing, rooted in Ephesians 4:29:
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up… that it may benefit those who listen.”
In other words: get in a room with people who are building something holy, and your faith will be built up too.
That’s the kind of space we’ve intentionally designed in Greenville, South Carolina. Not a one-size-fits-all business training. A holy environment where your ministry, mission, and business get to coexist—and thrive.
How the Wise Practice Summit Speaks to Your Real-Life Struggles
If you’re like many of the therapists we serve, you’re probably facing at least one of these:
You’re overwhelmed and under-supported.
You’re the owner, clinician, supervisor, marketer, admin assistant—and therapist to yourself, most days.
We’ll help you design systems that support your calling without running you into the ground.
You’re tired of secular strategies that don’t align with your values.
You don’t need another funnel template. You need a Spirit-led plan that’s ethical, sustainable, and built on biblical wisdom.
We’ll show you how to grow without compromising your convictions.
You’re wrestling with money mindset, burnout, or the fear of being “too much” or “not enough.”
You’re not alone. The Summit is a place where these conversations happen out loud—with honesty, humility, and hope.
You’re craving spiritual depth—but you also want clear, practical direction.
We offer both. You’ll leave with tactical business clarity and spiritual renewal.
This is more than professional development. It’s soul care for the CEO.

Why This Is Your “Christmas Conference” Moment
Back in 1784, Methodist leaders gathered at the Lovely Lane Chapel on Christmas Eve. That meeting birthed the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was a turning point—spiritually and structurally.
I believe this October could be your turning point, too.
A moment where:
You stop questioning your calling and start walking in it.
You stop surviving your practice and start stewarding it.
You stop carrying it alone and start building with God and others.
You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through business anymore.
Let’s reset—together.
