Trailer For The New Show: Counseling Tips For Pastors And Ministry Leaders

Do you want to care for the people in your ministry more effectively? This podcast will equip you to do exactly that.

 

The reality of Christian ministry is that it can be exhausting, overwhelming, and lonely. This is certainly true for pastors, but it is also true for all Christians in ministry! And every Christian has a ministry of some kind. From youth leaders to Bible study leaders to loving your next-door neighbor, we are all in ministry to the people around us. 

 

And those people are hurting. 

 

The emotional struggles, mental health needs, and relationship challenges of today’s world are big. Millions of people struggle with anxiety, depression, divorce, abuse, and stress. And when people are hurting, the Church is meant to help. 

 

… But do you really feel equipped to do that?

 

The mission of this podcast is to EQUIP and ENCOURAGE you in your ministry leadership. Whether you are pastoring a mega church or the far more common smaller church, or maybe you’re working at a nonprofit and leading a book club on your lunch break - you want to be able to love and care for the people around you. 

 

Every episode will EQUIP you with practical skills, ideas, tools, or resources to address the “counseling” related needs of the people in your ministry. Each episode will also seek to ENCOURAGE you in the important ministry work you are doing for the Lord’s glory.
