Today we have Dr. Vani Marshall back on the podcast! As most of you know, Dr Marshall is a cognitive therapist with a Doctorate in Counselling and a Masters in Psychology. She is also an Evangelist and Missionary with a passion to help people. 



Dr Marshall and I planned to do a Q and A of a number of questions from the audience for this episode but when she began unpacking her thoughts around avoiding burnout, we decided to narrow the focus of our discussion today instead of answering the other questions which we hope to get to in the future.



In this episode, Dr Marshall talks about the need for rest and setting boundaries to prevent burnout. She provides practical advice for avoiding burnout while highlighting the importance of taking care of your spiritual, physical and mental health. We also discuss the effect this can have on the family and much more.

We have been  blessed over the last nearly 3 years of this podcast to be joined some amazing men and women of God who have served the Lord and the church for many years - leaving a legacy.

Every time I have someone on the podcast who I consider an Elder, I like to get them to share their advice for those who are involved in ministry or are feeling the call of God on their life.

I decided that it would be a great resource for you all if I compiled them all into one episode. You'll hear from John Downs, Dr David Norris, Richard and Nancy Grandquist, Stan Gleason, Keith and Dr Janice Sjostrand, Raymond Woodward and Harold Hoffman.

Trusting in God's timing and not being anxious about the future is essential for finding peace and strength in ministry.


Seasons of loss can be challenging, but relying on God and acknowledging His presence can bring comfort and guidance.


Introspection and taking time to ponder and meditate on God's Word and His plans can lead to a deeper understanding of His will.


Acknowledging God in all aspects of life and ministry allows Him to direct our paths and bring about His plans. Prayer and faith can lead to unexpected miracles and solutions in difficult situations.


The support and love of a church community can be a source of strength and healing in times of tragedy.

This is an informal conversation with Mike Hackathorn where we discuss wide-ranging topics.

In this conversation, we discuss the apparent contradiction between Paul and James regarding faith and works. We explore the context of their writings and argue that they are not actually in disagreement. We emphasize the importance of understanding the different points each author is making and how they address different issues. We also discuss the meaning of justification and how it relates to salvation.
