How burnt-out Christians can learn to love themselves (as God commands)
Charity pioneer and mental health advocate Patrick Regan OBE joins Esther to chat about burnout, why we need to stop trying to be “all things to all people” in church, and his new book, Small Steps for Big Change: A Guide Through Overwhelm.
