The original release of Podcast 117 w/ Marty Sawyers was so well received that we decided to release it again as the end of summer 2022 nears. We hope you enjoy today's PODCAST RECAST.

At Full Strength Network, Marty Sawyers and his team believe that healthy pastors lead healthy churches, and healthy churches change the world. That's why they've gathered a national network of providers who are passionate about helping pastors and their families stay on the road to mental, spiritual, and financial well-being.

We all know how important it is to take care of yourself. They say that when an airplane is going down, if you don't put your safety mask on first, then you can't help anyone else. This is especially true for ministers and their families.

Today, we're talking to Marty about why pastors need counseling in every season of life, whether dealing with trauma or simply maintaining healthy habits. We'll also talk about how Full Strength Network can help pastors and their families receive counseling, financial coaching, and well-being resources in an affordable, safe, and anonymous way.

Take a few minutes to listen. I know you'll be encouraged!
