Each podcast has a bit of it’s own flavor.
If you want a guided 20 minute soul care meditation, listen to this Better Samaritan Podcast.
If you are more interested the meat of the book’s material, listen in to ‘That Makes Total Sense!’
If you're a pastor, or ministry leader you might want to listen to the Gravity Leadership, Monday Morning Pastor, Future Christian, or Churchology.
If you're a mom struggling with self-care, listen to Walk it Out with Tricia Goyer.
If you're seeking to slow down in whatever profession or life season you're in, I'd recommend the Unhurried Living Podcast.
And Henri Nouwen Society, for any of you :)

Soul Care for Wounded Healers: June 28, 2021
This delightful podcast is an engaging conversation with Alexis Busetti that explores the core themes of soul care in Bethany’s book. “Before you think this beautiful work is only for social workers or pastors, consider who you care for everyday. Each of us can learn from the wisdom to embrace the love God has for us so we can, in turn, love others better.”
Bethany Dearborn Hiser joins us to talk about the importance of soul care for pastors, therapists, chaplains, and others who work closely with the suffering of others, how soul care is different from “pampering” yourself (which often requires affluence), and how to pay closer attention to the health of our souls as we seek to help others work through suffering and trauma.
Walk It Out
Are you exhausted, friend? Are you pouring out and not filling up? Yes, life is busy (even under lockdown!), but sometimes there’s more going on. Without our awareness, false beliefs drive our feelings of anger, shame, guilt, or unworthiness. And in order to “fix” things, we give, serve, and care to make up for the ache inside. Can you relate?
‘Descend, or Die!’
Doug and J.R. have a fascinating conversation with author Bethany Dearborn Hiser about her new book From Burned Out to Beloved. If you are feeling tired, worn out and beat up, this conversation will feel like a day retreat with a spiritual director, helping you slow down, and begin to heal. If you know a pastor who is struggling right now, or if that is you, we hope God meets you through these words from Anthony De Mello, “Behold the beholder, beholding you and smiling.”
Now and Then
This episode of "Henri Nouwen, Now & Then" features "From Burned Out to Beloved" by author and social worker Bethany Dearborn Hiser. In this interview, Bethany offers much needed wisdom about soul care for wounded healers and those on the front lines of care.
