E218. More Connected, Yet More Lonely: Rethinking Discipleship with Rebecca Taguma
Thursday, 7 May, 2026
In this episode of The Care Ministry Podcast, Laura Howe is joined again by Rebecca Taguma from the American Bible Society and the Trauma Healing Institute. Together, they explore what many churches are quietly experiencing—everyday overwhelm, loneliness, and emotional exhaustion—and how this is shaping the way we care for and disciple people. This conversation reframes emotional resilience as part of discipleship, not a separate ministry, and offers a hopeful, relational path forward for churches. They also introduce Anchored in Hope, an accessible resource designed to help churches build connection, resilience, and support in everyday life. This episode is especially helpful for leaders who feel stretched, are carrying more than they should alone, and are looking for practical ways to build a culture of care.
