The Importance of Knowledge, Faith & Understanding Burnout with Dr. Sam Kim
Apr 25, 202300:28:26Tap to summarizeDr. Sam D. Kim is a pastor, author, and ethicist who is offering insight and care into some of the most essential gaps in the mental health conversation. When working in a prestigious position as research fellow in Global Health and Social Medicine at the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kim began noticing the deep burn-out impacting many healthcare workers. He found that these highly-educated, socially celebrated individuals were often experiencing intense emotional lows. The result was a lot of work digging into the mechanics of burnout — and how to repair it. Dr. Kim’s work is born of a deep personal faith that developed through experiencing God’s compassionate healing hand after his own trauma in the process of his family’s relocation to America from Korea. That faith is explored in depth through A Holy Haunting: Why Faith Isn’t a Leap but a Series of Staggers from One Safe Place to Another. This episode digs into the book’s intriguing title while continuing the Trevor Talks mission of shedding light on the hardest mental health conversations. Get A Holy Haunting now on Amazon.

Archetypes Collide: Breaking the Metalcore Mold and Embracing Vulnerability with Kyle Pastor
Mar 7, 202300:31:57Tap to summarizeArchetypes Collide is becoming one of the most talked-about names in hard rock — before their debut album even releases. With unswervingly honest lyrics and a variety of genre archetypes smashed together for one monster sound, Archetypes Collide’s forthcoming self-titled album (due March 31) promises to hit home for a variety of listeners. The heartbeat of these songs comes from singer and primary songwriter Kyle Pastor’s own personal and emotional process. Trying to determine where he fit in and what piece music had in his identity was a long road for the church-kid-turned rocker. These days, Kyle has settled into his creative passions, his role as a husband and a dad, and work as a creative director at his church. But even with that foundation and the sudden explosive growth of Archetypes Collide, Kyle is no stranger to anxiety and doubt. His process of pushing through? Community, solidarity, and acceptance of who he was created to be. Are you struggling with your own questions about mental health, identity, and life’s purpose?
