August 09, 2024 Ep. 101: Sean Nemecek on Burnout, People Pleasing, & Soul Care
Noah has a conversation with Sean Nemecek on the high rate of burnout by those in serving fields like nurses, doctors, counselors, teachers, and pastors. They hone in on pastors and the church, looking at what causes burnout, how we can better care for our pastors, and what spiritual practices are needed by all of us.

Sean Nemecek is the author of The Weary Leader’s Guide to Burnout (Outreach Magazine's 2024 Leadership Resource of the Year) and the West Michigan Regional Director for Pastor-in-Residence Ministries. Sean served as a pastor for 18 years before joining PIR. Now he works as both a spiritual director and ministry coach — specializing in coaching people through burnout and helping organizations develop an anti-burnout culture. He is all about helping people feel seen, heard, and known in the welcoming presence of our loving God.

July 26, 2024 Ep. 100: Part 2 of Dr. David Turner on Christian Higher Education + Power & Politics at Cornerstone University
Noah has an in-depth conversation with his former seminary professor Dr. David Turner about macro trends in Christian colleges and seminaries, and deep concerns about Noah's alma mater and Dr. Turner's employer of 32 years, Cornerstone University & Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. The conversation will address abusive leadership, dishonesty and manipulation, and merging Christianity with politics, all while boldly claiming to be Christ-centered. This conversation comes from a deep love both Noah and David have for Cornerstone University, and a responsibility they feel to speak up for Kingdom values.

We hope this creates a space for CU/GRTS alumni to process and grieve, and for those who aren't connected with the school to think critically about trends within American Christianity and how that compares to the Jesus of the Bible.

You don't have to agree with everything we say in this conversation. Noah and David don't agree on everything. But we hope this helps you think deeply and pray more effectively.
