This episode is amazing. It is just super-duper spectacular. Oh, it is also packed with awesome sauce.
I can’t wait for all of you in helping professions to hear this and get yourself the book – Caring for 
Souls in a Neoliberal Age. Dr. Bruce Rogers-Vaughn is Associate Professor of the Practice of Pastoral Theology and Counseling at Vanderbilt Divinity School, an ordained minister, and practicing therapist.
Over the course of the conversation Dr. Vaughn mentions a couple articles he has kindly shared here: “Blessed Are Those Who Mourn” and “Pastoral Reflections on Debt in the Age of Trump.” These will surely inspire checking out the book 🙂
