In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Paul Zahl about soul care as we transition through different life stages. Paul shares how our internal life changes as we move from the busyness of mid-life into a slower third stage of life, why it’s crucial to deal with unhealed trauma and the harmful effects of habitually suppressing feelings. Jay and Paul discuss the difference between meddling and helping in mentoring relationships, the necessity of finding ways to have fun and laugh, and the life-changing opportunities in real listening. Finally, Paul shares some encouragement for Vineyard Pastors.
