When a pastor is appointed to a new church, the whole family feels the shift. In this episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins is joined by Rev. Dr. Edgar Bazan and Rev. David Lessner as they share how they've stepped into new ministry contexts while keeping their families rooted in familiar communities. They reflect on what it means to show up fully in both church and home life—and how churches can play a vital role in helping pastors and their families thrive during seasons of transition.

"The churches didn't just welcome me, they made sure my family felt like they belonged." -Rev. David Lessner
