At the height of the pandemic, the operations within practice settings, higher education and places of worship changed and led to a host of challenges. In this paper, the co-authors use a reflective lens to highlight the challenges experienced by Christian social workers. Further, they provide examples and recommendations associated with spiritual coping and transformational leadership and for addressing professional and personal interruptions caused by the pandemic
