As pastors and ministry leaders, how can understanding our own journeys better ensure that we are serving from a place of healing rather than exhaustion, burnout, or pain? In this week’s conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Bethany Dearborn Hiser. Bethany is the Director of Soul Care for Northwest Family Life. She’s a bilingual social worker, chaplain, and pastoral advocate who has served in a variety of ministry and social service settings. Her new book is titled, “From Burned Out to Beloved: Soul Care for Wounded Healers.” Together, Bethany and Jason examine the often overlooked impact on our own lives that comes as a result of exposure to the crises and difficulties of those we serve. Bethany shares insights on how we can care for our own souls to help us avoid or overcome burnout and be more effective in our ministries.
