  • Avoiding Burnout in Ministry with Tim Timberlake

    Avoiding Burnout in Ministry with Tim Timberlake
    Nov 19 2024
    Is it possible to serve God and stay filled all at the same time? We know for a fact Jesus did it. But why is it that so many struggle to keep the “balance?” What does avoiding burnout look like for everyday pastors and leaders who are juggling family and ministry and life obligations? How do you even make time to fill up? Today I have a conversation with Pastor Tim Timberlake, who so graciously wrote the foreword for Soul Care, and we discuss what avoiding burnout looks like practically in his life today as a husband, father, and senior pastor of Celebration Church. We talk about how he prioritizes resting his body as well as his time with Jesus. You’re not going to want to miss this FINAL episode of the Soul Care series.

  • Rest - Kayla from Oklahoma

    Rest - Kayla from Oklahoma
    Nov 12 2024
    Rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Even Jesus, who was by nature God, yet also fully man -- took the time to REST. But so many Christians struggle to believe that it's okay to slow down, pace yourself, and rest - in a culture that encourages and affirms hustle, grind, and a fast-pace. In this on-air session, I talk to Kayla about the importance of rest and we unpack her struggle to live it out in her life, as well as help her get to the roots of her why. If you struggle to rest, this episode is for you. Extras: Soul Care: Order Soul Care Today!

  • Tune In - Lindsi from Kentucky

    Tune In - Lindsi from Kentucky
    Nov 5 2024
    Today I am joined by Lindsi who called in to discuss her tendency to ignore or repress her emotions — until they suddenly and forcefully come up to the surface of her life. She feels like her emotions take over at that point, and she doesn’t know how to control them. She gets set off by the smallest things, ends up engaging in conflict — and she is desperately trying to figure out how to navigate this unwanted cycle. We talk about the rhythm of TUNE IN and how important it is to understand and practice in order for us to engage in SOUL CARE. Extras: Soul Care: Order Soul Care Today!

    People Pleasers - Candace Cameron Bure
    Oct 29 2024
    So much of how we feel and what we do, is influenced by what’s going on underneath the surface of our lives. This is why we have to take the time to “tune in”. We’re tackling the rhythm of TUNE IN and today I am joined by Candace Cameron Bure for an on-air counseling session where we process her people-pleasing tendencies, where they come from, the work she has to do in order to fight off her people-pleasing nature, and what God has been teaching her in the process.

    Do you find that it’s hard to be present? Why do so many of us get stuck on the fears of the future, discontent in the here and now, or regrets from the past?

  • The Theology of SELF-CARE with Joel Muddamalle

    The Theology of SELF-CARE with Joel Muddamalle
    Oct 8 2024
    Is self-care biblical? So many Christians are held back from the message of practicing SOUL CARE because of misbeliefs about the theology of self-care and soul-care. They have been taught that the Christian way is “self neglect”. In this special episode, I am joined by my new friend, theologian Joel Mudamalle, as we differentiate between soul care and self-care, as well as unpack some verses that help us make sense of the importance of caring for ourselves and why it matters. Tune in to this important episode on the theology of self-care! Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast Extras: Soul Care: Order Soul Care Today!

  • I'm Awful at Boundaries in Ministry

    I'm Awful at Boundaries in Ministry
    Oct 1 2024
    What happens when you are on the line of burnout on a regular basis? Today’s caller, Liz from California, feels like she’s constantly straddling the line of burnout. She has a really hard time with boundaries, especially with ministry. She feels like she’s taught to “trust the Lord” and push through, but not actually replenish herself. She’s watching people in ministry burn out left and right, and no one is teaching her a better way to do it. She’s even seen her own leaders filled with stress and fatigue — but it doesn’t look or feel healthy, and she doesn’t believe that is “trusting the Lord”. So where do you go when you’re bad at boundaries and no one has taught you any better? How do you even set boundaries in ministry when there is so much to do? We talk through all of this in today’s conversation. Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast Extras: Soul Care: Order Soul Care Today!
