The Mental Health Moment
{Brought to you by Bristol Myers Squibb}
“When the Wounded Lead: Navigating Church Hurt and Trauma in Today’s Culture”
Instructors:
Dr. Stephanie Payne and
Dr. Lakeisa Tucker
In today’s church landscape, leaders are expected to absorb pain, resolve conflict, and keep pouring even when their own spirit is running dry. Many pastors and ministers carry unspoken wounds from betrayal, abandonment, internal conflict, or congregational harm. Yet few have been given tools to process that pain in healthy and spiritually grounded ways.
Masterclass with VaShawn Mitchell
{Featuring the YPLC Mass Choir Experience}
As the culminating session of the YPLC Music Ministry Workshop, participants will step into an extraordinary opportunity—an exclusive Masterclass with award-winning recording artist and worship leader, VaShawn Mitchell. Known for his excellence, innovation, and ministry impact around the world, VaShawn brings a unique blend of artistry, spiritual insight, and practical leadership that will elevate and inspire every participant.
This high-energy, interactive masterclass builds on the principles explored in the workshop, offering singers, musicians, pastors, and music leaders the chance to refine their craft and deepen their understanding of worship leadership. Under VaShawn’s guidance, participants will gain fresh perspective on creating a sound that honors God, engages the congregation, and strengthens the ministry’s overall impact.
As a special highlight, all masterclass participants will have the opportunity to sing in the YPLC Mass Choir, which will minister during the final evening service of the week—a powerful moment of unity, worship, and celebration.
