At The Colossian Forum, we know that Christian leadership isn’t easy, especially in the middle of stress, conflict, and emotional exhaustion. You want to respond with grace and lead with peace, but when the pressure is high, it’s easy to feel reactive or overwhelmed.
That’s why we created the Slowing Down Guide for Christian Leaders — a free resource designed to help you pause, breathe, and lead with emotional and spiritual maturity when tensions rise.
How to Slow Down and Be a Peaceful Presence When Tensions Are High
This guide is full of simple, practical tools that support healthy Christian leadership in real-life moments of conflict.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Breath prayers and grounding exercises
- Prompts to help you name your emotions with honesty
- Tools to set healthy boundaries rooted in discernment
- Practices for modeling a slower, Spirit-led pace in your workplace
This is not just a guide to personal wellness; it’s a tool for spiritual formation and conflict transformation. It’s designed for pastors, nonprofit leaders, and Christian professionals who want to cultivate healthier relationships and more hopeful communities.
This free guide is available now.
When you sign up, we’ll send it straight to your inbox — ready to use, reflect on, and share with others.
Know someone else who’s navigating tension or leading in a high-stress season? Send them this blog post as a way to offer encouragement and support. It’s a small way to practice hope together.

This guide was inspired by a powerful conversation between Rev. Dr. Tanner Smith and Pastor Chase Stancle on our Practicing Hope podcast called “The Art of Slowing Down.” You can listen to that episode here or explore more practical resources for navigating conflict with faith and integrity on our podcast page.
We hope this guide becomes a helpful companion to you, and to those you share it with, as you slow down, reconnect with God’s presence, and lead with greater clarity and peace.
