As pastors and ministry leaders, how can we better care for our own souls as we care for the souls of others? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Dr. Barbara Peacock. Barbara is an award-winning author and a passionate spiritual director and teacher. She's earned degrees from both Princeton Theological Seminary and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. She's the founder of Peacock Soul Care, and her most recent book is entitled Spiritual Practices for Soul Care. Together, Barbara and Jason explored the importance of actively and intentionally engaging in our own soul care as we serve others. Barbara also provides some incredible insights about the relationship between community and caring for our souls.
