The Small Church Ministry Podcast 201: Do No Harm - What Churches Can Do to Support Real Healing | with Licensed Therapist Kati Quigley
In small churches, we’re often the first people others turn to when life falls apart - whether we’re on staff, leading worship, teaching kids, or serving on the elder board.
In Part Two of the Do No Harm series, Laurie and licensed therapist Kati Quigley talk about what churches can do to help create more emotionally healthy spaces.
This isn’t about becoming counselors, giving advice, or providing solutions. It’s about practicing empathy, allowing people to lean into their own painful places, listening well, and partnering with counselors and professionals we trust.
In this episode:
- How small churches can normalize therapy and mental health support
- Why awareness of reactions matters (our own and others) in ministry meetings
- How to listen better and create safer, judgment-free spaces
- The value of clear boundaries and trusted referral lists
