Like every human being, Pastors and their families have stories of pain, longing, and loneliness. Author Tricia Lott Williford has written and published nearly twenty books already, and many of them contain her raw emotions, faith journey, and roads to healing.

Tricia also shares a personal and behind the scenes view of and love for ministry leaders and pastors. She and her mom (Polly Lott) served on staff at a large megachurch for many years. Her speaking and writing ministry has helped countless leaders learn to find God in and through some of the most devastating tragedies in life.

In today's episode, Tricia and Gary talk about how and when to let people know what's actually going on inside a leader's emotional, spiritual, and relational journey. Tricia shares two important "guardrails" she uses personally and encourages other leaders to consider as they must guard their private lives while also learning to build trusting relationships with others.

Tricia and Gary team up for their first episode full of relational realities for leaders, stories, laughs, and (we hope) some encouragement for our listeners right here and now.
