Why Soul Care Is Essential for Women in Ministry
Women in ministry often spend their lives pouring into others—leading, mentoring, serving, and caring for their communities. But who cares for the caregivers?
In this powerful episode of How Love Can Last Forever…After All, host Calvin Copeland welcomes Bennye Bryant, Director of the Women in Ministry Network for Texas Baptists, for an honest conversation about the critical role of soul care in sustaining a healthy ministry, meaningful relationships, and thriving marriages.
Together, they explore the unique challenges women face in vocational ministry, the hidden emotional and spiritual costs of leadership, and why intentional soul care is not a luxury but a necessity. Bennye shares insights on creating safe spaces for women leaders, the importance of mentorship and community, and practical ways to maintain spiritual, emotional, and relational health while answering God's call.
Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, spouse, or someone who loves and supports women in ministry, this episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and hope for living and loving from a healthy soul.
