How Leaders Fall
Both Aron and Lindsey have worked in churches, partnered with churches and also counseled many people in the church. Working with leaders, we start to see a pattern that happens in secret, in the quiet, in isolation of leaders that ultimately leads to a place of pain for all around them, including themselves.
Join Lindsey and Aron as they break down what happens to leaders and how to stop the pattern.

Understanding the Theology of Suffering Part 2
As therapists, we often get questions like, "Why did ______ have to happen? What did I do to make it happen? Why did God allow this to happen to me?"
Suffering is the one thing we all do not want to experience, yet it is the one thing we are all guaranteed to experience. Knowing this, it is important to know why and also how we are to engage in suffering.
Join Aron Strong and Lindsey Castleman, both LMFTs and co-founders of inRelationship, as they discuss the theology of suffering.
Our conversation kept going, so we broke it up in to part one and part two. We pray this is helpful!
