Episode Synopsis

As pastors and church workers a main part of our calling is to work and serve with other brothers and sisters in Christ. We are called to be shepherds of those who are lost working under the one Good Shepherd. However, in doing the work that we do we must sympathize with their suffering, empathize with their needs, and be compassionate in our work. All of this leaves us open to feeling the trauma they are struggling through. This episode is on the secondhand trauma we all face serving in the ministry  and serving our Lord.
