Episode Synopsis

When you spend your days caring for others, who makes sure you’re cared for? In this episode of *For the Love of God*, host Sheri Meister talks with Diane Owen, Area Director of Clergy Well-being for the Dakotas-Minnesota Area of the United Methodist Church, about sustaining inner strength in ministry. Together, they explore how clergy can rediscover the rhythms of rest, reflection, and resilience that make ministry sustainable—addressing the realities of stress, finances, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. Hear practical ways to nurture emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being, along with resources clergy can turn to for renewal and support. As Diane reminds us, resilience is about learning to pause, reflect, and renew—so we can continue to lead with strength and grace.
