With this episode I begin a series of four which in one way or another considers the relationship between pastoral ministry and clinical counseling. In so doing I wade into water some might call hot. I know that what I will suggest will not be shared by others. Still, there are things here that I’d like us to at least think about. That’s what people do around a table – we share ideas.
Whether you agree with me or not, if you find value in joining us at the table, please rate and review this podcast. I’m not sure how the algorithms work, but I’m told it’s helpful.
And as always, thanks for joining us around Greatheart’s Table.

A concern for another day is to address the opposite problem: pastors passing off the regular pastoral responsibility of being compassionate listeners and offering attentive presence.
