S9E12 - Lesley Hansher
from The Millennial Pastor Hosted by Josiah Jones
Welcome to season nine of the podcast! This season, an "honest conversation about disability and the Church" will be hosted by Letiah Fraser. Her guest in this episode is Lesley Hansher! Here is a little more about Lesley: Rev. Lesley Hansher is an ordained elder in the church of the Nazarene. Born and raised in Ontario, Canada she has only lived in the United States since the fall of 2014 when she moved to Kansas City to pursue her Master of Divinity degree (2017) at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Lesley currently serves as the lead pastor Kennewick Church of the Nazarene in Washington State alongside her husband, who is the associate pastor. Lesley has been navigating the waters of being diagnosed with a mental illness since she was 16 years old. She has been on a journey of healing from childhood trauma and has had to learn the difference between being healed and being whole. She speaks openly about her mental health diagnosis and the faithfulness of God even in the hard times. She is a firm believer that the world would be a better place if everyone had 10 required therapy sessions at the turn of every decade.
