   Episode 3: The Shepherds Heart: Caring for the Pastors Emotional Health

   Pastors spend much of their lives helping other people carry burdens.We walk with people through death and grief. We sit with families in crisis. We counsel marriages that are falling apart. We deal with conflict. We receive criticism. We celebrate people's victories. We carry the weight of decisions that affect an entire congregation.And sometimes, after we've spent the week helping everybody else carry their burdens, we go home carrying our own.So today we're talking about The Shepherd's Heart: Caring for the Pastor's Emotional Health. Notes: Jim Ramsey Ministry to Pastors mentioned in the episode.  For more information go to his website jimramsey.carrd.co Also at Metro we do provide help with counseling.  So if you are struggling and looking for some help.  Reach out to me and we can get you set up with a counselor.
