The Worship Circle Podcast

In this podcast, we discuss our upcoming Pastor Circle term with Brent Harrison and Danny Mullins. Pastors are often the most exhausted leaders in ministry and make time for everyone but themselves. Pastor Circle exists for them to know they are loved and not alone, and to find a safe space to be truly known and cared for.

In this podcast, we speak with singer, songwriter, and worship pastor Matt Goss. We discuss his journey of leading a multi-site team for years in Pennsylvania and how paying attention to his story helped him be more present to God, himself, and others.

Cathy Loerzel is the co-founder and Executive Vice President of **The Allender Center**, an organization focused on healing trauma through the power of story, psychology, and theology. She works closely with Dr. Dan Allender to train therapists, pastors, and leaders in narrative-focused care. Cathy is also the co-author of *Redeeming Heartache: How Past Suffering Reveals True Calling*, which explores how pain and trauma can become sources of purpose and restoration. With a background in counseling and community development, she is known for her compassionate, insightful approach to helping people understand their stories and reclaim their identities. Beyond her leadership and writing, Cathy is a frequent speaker and teacher on topics of redemption, identity, and relational wholeness.

In this podcast, we are honored to dive into a subject that can be filled with shame and contempt. Our friend, Greg Oliver of Awaken Ministries in Birmingham, AL, shares the story of how his worst days turned into a ministry that now helps many who struggle with sexual addiction move toward recovery and healing.

In this podcast, we are honored to hear from Bill and Kristi Gaultiere, leaders of Soul Shepherding, a ministry to bring health and healing to ministry leaders. They were both mentored by Dallas Willard and his wife, Jane, and trained in psychotherapy and spiritual direction. Their new book, Deeply Loved, is out now and helps us all understand God’s deep empathy for us, which in turn allows us to offer it to others.
