Laura Howe, thank you for being a leading voice in a much overlooked ministry in the church today. Thank you for offering practical strategies for church leaders everywhere and also for shouting not only permission to care for ourselves but the priority of it! We have much to learn about the ministry of care.
Everyone who’d learn from listening podcast should listen to this! You’ll find all kinds of mental care strategies and tools in it, and not just for others but for self-care as well!
I love how this podcast addresses both individual stories as well entire systems of care. Rather than being reductionistic in one direction or the other, Laura helps the church to holistically serve real people and create healthier communities.
Thank you for providing content that is helpful, encouraging and meaningful! I love how mental health and Christianity is incorporated.
Having struggled with mental myself and raising children who have managed their own personal battles with mental health, I appreciate the consistent, quality information and vulnerability of the guests. Thank you for making a difference!
