Healthy Pastors: Mental Health Conversations with Dr. Jamie Aten and Laura Howe

Monday Morning Pastor

Pastors, you are not immune from experiencing struggles with mental health. let that sink in. Much of our job places us in the middle of some very tense and difficult moments in the lives of the people we serve. These experiences can lead to some serious depletion and damage to our mental health. We hope that: 1. You will hear something in this podcast that encourages you and helps you know that you are not alone and what you are going through is not because you don’t _______ enough. 2. If you are struggling, get help, talk to someone there are many counselors and gifted thrapists who have deep wells of compassion for pastors. 3. Consider signing up and bringing your team the Church Mental Health Summit on October 10th you can sign up for free and find our more information @ http://www.ChurchMentalHealthSummit.com.
