In this episode, Kevin and Paul interview Dr. Ly Tran, a counselor, supervisor, owner, and pastor. Ly has experience leading in the counseling field and in churches. He knows the challenges that helpers face and the potential pitfalls of leadership. He also knows what it looks like to stay connected through the darkest moments of life. We hope you enjoy this rich conversation with Ly and check out some of his resources below.

We want to hear from you!
