SPECIAL CROSSOVER EPISODE! Listen to S2, E1 here.
My valued friend and colleague, Fr. Ethan Lowery, hosts an on-going conversation with friends about rest, sabbath, and resisting the overbearing cultural pressure to work/produce/be available all the time. He shares these conversations through a podcast primarily aimed at young adults called Non-Working Title.
Although originally intended for the young adults whom he serves, this episode’s discussion will likely be very relatable and helpful to first responders. Topics covered in this crossover episode include: trauma, secondary trauma, family systems, addiction, sleep issues, and more. This episode will echo some topics and illustrations mentioned in “Self-Care when helping others” (S1, E7), but it is much more conversational, personal, and expansive. I offer my thanks to Fr. Ethan for his allowing me to share this edited version of my interview here.
For those that don’t know him, Fr. Ethan Lowery (he/him) is an Episcopal Priest and young adult and campus missioner here locally in Fredericksburg, VA. He shares often that his interest in young adult ministry is rooted in being a young adult and having experienced himself the Church not always knowing what to do with 20- and 30-somethings.
