Thanks for joining us here at Greatheart’s Table, the podcast for pastors and those who need therapists. Well, that’s not exactly the tag line we normally use, but we’ve been touching on a common thread over the past several episodes that could make it plausible. I’ve...

If you are new to Greatheart’s Table, I suggest you dial back to listen to episode #67 titled “Mr. Greatheart and This Metaphorical Table.” That will explain what we are trying to do here, and where the title comes from. I post a new episode three Mondays of each...

This is another one of our resets, episodes that aired some time ago which I’m re-recording and posting to allow me some space to catch up on other projects. My son Seth is an artist, a musician, and a wise observer of my spiritual vulnerabilities. He knows the kinds...

Quite a few of you are new and may be uncertain of what we’re doing here or why, and many may wonder where the name comes from. For all such mysteries, I recommend that you scroll back and listen to episode 67 called “Mr. Greatheart and This Metaphorical Table.” And...
