The story we tell ourselves
The story we tell ourselves is a podcast about the narratives we create, live, grieve, and hope by. Every two weeks we have a new guest bring their expertise on topics such as emotionally healthy spirituality, burnout in ministry, deconstructing and reconstructing faith and church leadership in a politically charged environment. We address the tensions we face in ministry and in life as women, leaders, Salvationists and most importantly as followers of Jesus. Song cover written and performed by Hannah McNeilly.
