Episode 5: All the Cliches We Love to Hate 31.12.2020 26:41

Cliches, aphorisms, truisms, and platitudes are all part of our common speech, and we all cringe a little whenever we hear them. In youth ministry or pastoral care, there is a whole set of them that get used way too much. In this episode, we explore a few of them and confess to using them, to our shame.

But we’ll be talking about being tired, the way exhaustion impacts ministry, and how God works through us even when we have no energy to offer.
