When Leaders Need Care ft. Roger & Sarah Stanton | Ep. 222

About this episode

Brandon discusses the importance of leaders receiving care with mental health counselors Roger and Sarah Stanton.

We can find ourselves caught between two competing narratives when it comes to seeking help: the fear of appearing weak and the cultural tendency to wear our struggles as badges of identity. Brandon sits down with Roger and Sarah Stanton, licensed mental health counselors, to discuss how important it is for leaders to receive the care they need to be able to carry on in ministry. The call is clear: stop carrying the weight alone and step into the freedom God has waiting for us. To learn more about Leading Second Care, visit https://leadingsecond.com/care
