The RP Podcast | Q&A: Mental Health, Ministry Pressure & Protecting Your Peace

About this sermon

It’s Q&A time again on The Rod Parsley Podcast! Pastor Rod and Ashton Blaire answer YOUR questions about many of the hard-hitting topics believers face today. From learning to discern the difference between a God and a good idea, to maintaining your mental health and setting boundaries, to dealing with the pressures of ministry (and even retirement). You’ll hear personal lessons learned outside the pulpit, discover the books that have shaped our hosts’ faith, plus how-to’s about protecting your peace. This conversation is filled with spiritual and practical wisdom, humor, and the kind of truth that challenges you to live boldly for an audience of One.
