What do you do when you are B.L.A.S.T.ed? In other words, what do you do as a pastor when you are Bored, Lonely, Anxious/Afraid, Stressed, or Tired? Doug and J.R take an honest look under the hood of what we do when we feel BLASTed, as well as the importance of Sabbath and a few simple practices that help us lean into these feelings instead of numbing them. Our guest for this show is pastor, author, and prophetic voice, Mandy Smith. This sincere conversation moves around sabbath, hazards of ministry, formation practices for the soul, depression, love for the church, picking trash, artwork, failure, pain, and leading the church as a woman. We know this will be an encouragement for all who listen.ResourcesQuestions:What rhythms can cultivate in your life that move you from death to resurrection on “Monday”? What is our Sabbath Rhythm?  What is on your “to do” list?  What is on your “to don’t” list?BooksThe Vulnerable Pastor: How Human Limitations Empower Our Ministry by Mandy SmithGod in My Everything by Ken ShigematsuSubversive Sabbath by A.J.
