Light Check: Before You Shine Out, Shine In

Laura Howe

Part of the 2025 BASE Summit Series. CTRL + ALT + RECOVER exists to say something the rest of the conference assumes: before you shine out, shine in.

Digital ministry carries a particular weight — you are always reachable, the feed never closes, and the people you serve bring their trauma straight into your inbox. This summit makes the case that personal recovery and soul-health are not a break from the mission; they are what makes it sustainable.

Questions

Why does digital ministry need its own approach to burnout?
Because the conditions differ: you are always reachable, the feed never closes, and people bring trauma straight into your inbox. The summit treats recovery as fuel for the mission rather than time away from it.
Is this summit only for people in recovery?
No. It is for anyone doing digital ministry who needs their own soul-health to be sustainable — alongside sessions from people whose ministry came out of their own recovery.
