Today’s episode features Rev. Kori, a seasoned pastor with over 15 years of ministry experience in a variety of settings. In our conversation, Kori opens up about a pivotal season in her life when she was determined to reclaim her joy—and the intentional steps she took to get there.

She speaks honestly about walking through hard things and discovering beauty in the very places that felt like they were falling apart. Her story is one of deep faith, vulnerability, and resilience.

This conversation was truly a gift to be part of, and I believe it will bring you a fresh sense of hope and encouragement—especially if you’re navigating your own difficult season in ministry.
