Episode 1: Pastors under pressure

In this episode, guest David Tensen and I discuss the pressures pastors and ministers face across all denominations and church backgrounds.

David also finishes with a live reading of two of his poems.

We look at issues such as:

- Understanding the pressure pastors face from vocational, familial, organisational and community perspectives

- Is psychology a four-letter word

- Building cultural competency for mental health professionals
