Pastors are People Too
🎙️ Podcast Title: Soul Care & Shepherds
Episode Title: Pastors Are People Too
Description:
In this deeply reflective episode, Reverend Dr. Cheryl Ann Beals invites us to rediscover a truth we often forget: Pastors are people too. Drawing from decades of experience and research, she shares how the superhero expectations placed on pastors can lead to soul erosion, burnout, and deep spiritual exhaustion.
What happens when the shepherds of our faith communities are left uncared for? What does it cost them—and us? 💔
Dr. Beals, Director of the Sodzo Center for Soul Care with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (CBAC), shares insights on the vital need for pastors to receive spiritual support, rest, and healing. Listeners will hear firsthand the importance of spiritual formation, soul care practices, and the power of hope-filled connection.
✨ Topics covered:
- Why “super pastor” is a harmful myth
- How burnout silently affects ministry leaders
- What Jesus’ own example teaches us about receiving care
- Practical ways churches can support their pastors—starting now
Whether you’re a congregant, a church board member, or a pastor yourself, this episode is a heartfelt call to nurture the soul of the shepherds who serve so faithfully. 🕊️
