How to Survive Pastoral Pain
In this episode, Nick Oyler, our regular host, shares his story of going through a painful season of ministry. He is joined by special guest host, Mitch Lamb, and they talk about the things that Nick has done over the years to care for his soul so that he could overcome ministry adversity.
The heart of this episode is to get a dialogue going that can help other pastors, particularly young pastors to prepare their souls so that ministry adversity does not knock them out of ministry.
