“For the world, self-care is mission, but for the church, self-care is strategy. We have to understand what self-care is as stewardship and an act of worship.”

Welcome to the latest episode of Unscripted, ARC’s podcast that brings you off-the-cuff, deeply engaging conversations.

Andy Yarborough, clinical psychologist and founder of The Well Clinic, joins Dino for a compelling conversation centered around what it means to thrive holistically. With a doctoral degree in psychology, Andy has a heart for helping pastors and missionaries not just overcome struggles but truly thrive in their ministries and personal lives.

In this episode, you'll hear Dino and Andy discuss some of the most pressing and important topics we've ever covered on Unscripted. From the challenges facing today's pastors to the incredible work being done to integrate well-being as the ongoing pursuit of holistic health, their conversation delves into:

They also discuss the essential work Dr. Andy is doing with ARC, where he helps church planters and leaders prepare for their roles with a focus on emotional and spiritual health. If you're involved in ministry, leadership, or passionate about supporting those who are, this episode is a must-listen.
