Counseling Tips For Pastors And Ministry Leaders - Practical Help From Christian Counselors

About Counseling Tips For Pastors And Ministry Leaders - Practical Help From Christian Counselors

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.

   Handling The Holidays For The Lord’s Glory (And Your Good)

   Christians are extra busy this time of year! Christmas, New Years - a wonderful time for remembering the Lord and enjoying your family… but quite likely, also a time for extra tasks, worldly distractions, and perhaps even a “bah-humbug” or two. As you approach Christmas and prepare for a brand new year, may you find encouragement (and perhaps some Spirit-led conviction) by the simple Bible verse of Colossians 3:17 - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Join me today for 3 tips to help you live this verse out well during a busy holiday season - for the Lord’s glory and for your own good! ** This podcast is a ministry of iHope Christian Care and Counseling located in Florence, S.C.
