Kay Warren and Glen Bloomstrom join “The Stetzer ChurchLeaders Podcast” to discuss the crucial part church leaders play in helping people battle suicide and how those in ministry can take action to be equipped for this fight.

Rich Villodas joined us last week to discuss what it means to follow Jesus on the narrow path and the dangers pastors face as they do so.
