What this episode covers

In this episode, I’m joined by Amber Wichmann —a seminary student and rural church pastor—who shares what it’s like to say a wholehearted yes to God’s call.We talk about the joy and reverence of serving communion to people you know and love, the gift of having a wise and supportive supervisor, and the sacred moments she experiences as a hospital chaplain. Amber and I also share about the biblical women who inspire us—Hagar and Esther—and how their stories shape our calls to lead with courage and faith.One of the most powerful parts of our conversation? Hearing how Amber, who fears public speaking, finds the strength to stand in the pulpit and preach each week. Her story is a beautiful reminder that God equips us in the very places we feel least confident.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re really “cut out” for ministry—this episode will speak straight to your heart.Let's Connect: 🌐 Learn more: ⁠revamberlaffey.my.canva.site⁠📧 Contact: ⁠[email protected]⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠@revamberl⁠📘 Facebook: ⁠Rev Amber Laffey

Join us and have a listen! Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
