This week on the Care ministry podcast we are talking with Dr. Michelle Pearce about thriving in adversity.  Her book Night Bloomer; 12 principles for thriving in adversity, will be your go-to resource. 

 Dr. Pearce guides readers through her story of devastating loss and pairs it with best practices methods she uses with her clients as a clinical psychologist.  This book is an incredible resource to give to those you are supporting. It’s s like having a therapist in your pocket and that allows you to remain a supporter as they walk through the healing journey.

On the show today we talking about how to know when it’s time to refer someone you are supporting.    

This is a conversation that can be really hard to navigate.  People are looking to you for support, but you only have a limited amount of resources, skills and capacity to support people. 

As supporters or ministry leaders people often think we have the answers to some of life’s most challenging issues.  The expectations others put on us are just not realistic.  When working with people who have high needs it’s is common to work with others as a circle of care network rather than doing everything alone.  

In this episode, I’m going to identify three types of supporters, their skills and expertise that they bring to support as well as identify 7 signs that indicate that it’s time to refer or bring in other supporters.

On the show today we talking all about The soul of the Helper.  Dr. Holly Oxhandler’s first and much-anticipated book walks helpers through 7 steps to tending to your soul.  When a helper is living refreshed seeing themselves as a beloved child of God, it allows them to see and support others at such a greater capacity.   

In this book, I felt validated, but I also was challenged, and even supported, because Holly not only shares the research behind these steps, but she also shares her own journey and how she implemented these practical steps in her real-life situation.
