Hey, welcome to another “Rainy Day Conversation around Greatheart’s Table.”

Unlike the normal short episodes, these are longer conversations in which I invite men and women with insight into issues of concern for pastors and those who care for them to talk about their areas of expertise. I hope you find value here.

This is part two of a conversation we began earlier with two experienced pastors, Paul Joiner and Mike Osborne, concerning factors that can help pastors stay pastors.

I’d love to hear what your think
