S04 Ep12 - When a Shepherd Leaves His Flock - w/ Co-Host Grace Morey

We are airing a very sensitive and delicate topic with co-host Grace Morey this week. We want to talk about the gap and silence that has been felt in the Church and community when priests and pastors relinquish their pastoral vocations, NOT to point the finger or blame them, but to address the lack of conversation about it. How it causes father wounds to the rest of the community, the lack of addressing our emotions and feelings, how there seems to be no space to have the conversation and to help in healing. A REALLY big topic, we hope this episode is the beginning of this conversation, not the end.
