Helping the Hurting Without Burning Out

Faith Based Mental Health

“He had a name. He had a voice. But he wouldn’t get on the bus.”
This powerful episode with guest Cory Bledsoe will shake how you view the people society too easily overlooks. From years in homeless ministry to leadership with the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Cory shares gut-wrenching stories of brokenness, breakthrough, and the one heartbreaking truth he learned the hard way: you can’t rescue someone who doesn’t want to get on the bus.

Together, we explore how mental health, addiction, and spiritual wounds intersect—and how the Church can do better. You’ll hear poetic redemption, real danger, and the messy beauty of stepping into someone else’s pain.
💔 Why do some never leave the street—even when help comes with a tour bus?
🙏 How can we care deeply without drowning in compassion fatigue?
🏥 And is the Church sometimes doing more harm than good in its outreach?

This episode isn’t just for pastors or mental health professionals—it’s for anyone who wants to love others well without burning out.
