Power WalkMinistry in modern society presents a perpetual assault on the pastor's soul. Culture has changed, and the challenges of ministry have changed with it. Many new pastors are discovering that they're ill-equipped to manage unexpected, soul-health tensions of ministry. Wednesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, pastor and author, Cary Schmidt shares a fresh approach to cultivating emotional health for a lifetime in ministry. A flourishing pastoral heartbeat is possible—for those who are intentional.
On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte author and speaker, Daniel Darling joins us to share about a recent article he wrote called,"When Grief Like Sea Billows Roll Through Your Holidays". He says, "I learned how to mourn when my mom lost her mind, and then her life, to dementia". Daniel shares what Paul told the Thessalonians, that we do indeed grieve, but we do not grieve without hope. He finds the waves of grief "are a welcome gift helping him say, with hope, that even this is 'well with my soul'.
