The Well Mind welcomes Dr. Mark Paustian to episode 12 of the podcast. I am thrilled to introduce Mark to the Well Mind community. He is one of those people that immediately communicates trust and compassion simply through his presence in conversation. He has been a formative mentor for me and we talk about the way our paths have been interwoven through the years. We take an intimate and vulnerable dive into the experiences of providing soul care in our careers and relationships. Mark continues to mentor students through his role as a college professor of interpersonal communication, preaching, and apologetics. He served as a parish pastor for many years and draws on his wealth of knowledge and experience in serving people throughout our discussion. We explore themes and topics of hope, comfort, acceptance, suffering, anxiety, social connectedness, community, and purpose.
