EP#7 Soul Care (with Cathy Gates) Pastor to Pastor
-
- Mental Health
Surprisingly pastors are not too good with their own soul care. Many pastors feel driven by the tyranny of ministry or everyone else's urgency -- or at least what they think is most urgent. How we take care of our bodies and our mental and emotional state through healthy lifestyle is very important. But, perhaps even more important is the condition of our soul. Often the unresolved and unhealed wounds of our lives fester and infect everything soul allowing Jesus to bring healing into those wounds is crucial in daily disciple living.
Allen talks with Cathy Gates, Director of Thrive Ministries, a ministry to support pastors.

Cathy mentioned a sacred pathways assessment to help you understand yourself better in light of what ways you best communicate with God. That is not to say that others are not just as important, but some naturally lend themselves to going deeper with the Lord.
Sacred Pathways came from a book of the same name written by Gary Thomas
