Wounded Warriors of the Cross
Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.

Episode 19: Pastoral Respite care putting on the whole armor of God
Respite care is a temporary relief or a period of time that our Lord provides for us to refresh, rejuvenate, and invigorate His people so they can continue along the path God has led them. Though God appoints this divinely appointed interlude how many choose to apply it to our lives, and how many choose to work being overwhelmed to the point of burnout. IN this Podcast we will discuss biblically what respite is and our need for it, and ten application thoughts for our own pastoral respite care.
