Do you have a safe place to speak openly — and be truly heard? What if you could meet regularly with people who understand your struggles and celebrate your victories?

In this episode, I share how people meeting consistently can grow into a decades-long tradition of support, encouragement, and deep connection. You’ll learn how to start and sustain a monthly group that feeds your soul and strengthens your ministry.

Could your family background be silently shaping your leadership—for better or worse?

Why is transition to new elders sometimes difficult, especially when a preacher has been with a church for decades?

Why is a preacher often surprised when he is suddenly dismissed and he has a contract?

Here's a method I discovered in 1988, and it's been helpful to me.

How does a preacher decide to move to another church. How does he choose the church where he will work? What are the things he looks for to make that decision?

I can't answer for other preachers, but several years ago, I made a detailed study of my process in one of me moves. In this epsoide, you have my report of that process.

Have you noticed that different families have different rules? 
Did your mother and father have different rules? 
Did you know who to ask to get what you wanted? 
Did you think your family had the best rules, or did you wish that your family had the rules of some of your friends? 
How does that work when two people get married who came from different families with different rules?

What do you do when you are speechless?

What do you do when someone tells you that you look weird?

Do you do whatever they say to make you look unweird?

How are you doing on forgiving yourself? What if you are trying to do something that can't be done?

Listen to this episode. Forgiveness is a gift that God is willing to give us. It isn't a gift we give ourselves.

That takes a lot of pressure off trying to forgive myself.

Why do people sometimes take the preacher's side in a church fuss?

Why do some people call the preacher Pastor?

What does the Bible say?

Why would people not respect that and not take the preacher's side?
