What if pastors have the same struggles, doubts, and fears as the rest of us—and they’re just doing their best to follow Jesus too?

In this honest and insightful episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Grant Fishbook to explore the questions many of us have always wanted to ask a pastor. From navigating personal struggles to walking alongside messy people in a broken world, Grant shares the raw realities of being a pastor and a follower of Jesus. You’ll hear how transparency, humility, and grace guide his leadership and how God uses imperfect people to show others that Jesus not only loves them—but likes them too.
