In reply to Timothy Miille.

Hi Timothy! Good question. I think one thing this question brings forward is what a healthy thing it is to have relationships among workers and their families in a circuit or region, connecting with at least a few in friendship, mentorship, or intentional care to bring the Word to bear to one another where we are at. I also think this is where the great cloud of witnesses comes in, living life together, caring for one another, suffering and rejoicing together, sharing the Word and Sacraments. It's so encouraging when spiritual care comes in many forms, always centered and founded in Christ.
