Every pastor prays for laborers. Fewer are ready to release them.

Derald Weber knows both sides of that story. His pastor, Anthony Mangun, released him into a calling that took him from evangelist to church planter to District Superintendent of the largest district in the UPCI. Years later, he handed his own pulpit to his son.

In this episode, Brother Weber unpacks his new book, Called Equipped Sent. We talk about the fears that keep pastors holding on, why dependency is not the same as legacy, and how a simple monthly Ministers’ Class in Lafayette sent leaders all over the world.

If you’re the pastor who can’t miss a Sunday without everything falling apart, this one’s for you. Success isn’t measured by how many attend. It’s measured by how many are sent.

He shares how trusted friendships, spiritual accountability, family, and intentional time for rest and reflection have sustained him throughout his years of leadership. Dr. Corey also explains why partnering with Dr. John Townsend was so meaningful in writing Make the Most of It, bringing a practical, psychological perspective to the 14 burdens leaders face and helping leaders learn to steward those burdens in ways that strengthen them for the long haul.

Description:
Lincoln Graham Jr. reflects on the contrast between chaotic, transactional leadership and the relational side of ministry. Early in his pastoral journey, he focused heavily on systems and productivity while lacking an understanding of people and relationships. Through failure, demanding work, and repeated illness, he learned humility, compassion, and the importance of relational leadership. Balancing a demanding career, ministry, and family eventually forced him to recognize the physical and personal costs of relentless drive and the need for a healthier approach to leadership and life.

Some sermons connect and some just don’t. In this episode, I sit down with Jerry Jones, author of We Preach, longtime UPCI pastor, and former general secretary-treasurer, to talk about the craft behind preaching that moves people.

After more than 55 years in ministry and now teaching the next generation of preachers at Urshan College, Brother Jones breaks down how to open strong, tell stories people can see, build a sermon around one clear idea, and close with a next step instead of a summary. He also shares the honest stories behind the lessons, including the sermon that backfired and the call to preach he almost didn’t answer. If you preach, teach, or lead from the front of a room, this conversation will sharpen how you communicate.

Description:
Dr. Barry Corey, former president of Biola University and author of Make the Most of It, discusses the realities of leadership and what he calls the “splendid agony” of leading. He explains how burdens such as loneliness, discretion, identity, and perpetual challenges are an unavoidable part of leadership. Rather than viewing these burdens solely as difficulties, Dr. Corey encourages leaders to recognize them as opportunities for growth, greater strength, healthier endurance, courageous decisions, and stronger relationships.

Description:
Lincoln Graham Jr. reflects on growing up as a pastor’s kid and witnessing firsthand the damage that overextending oneself in ministry can have on a family. His early exposure to the hardships of ministry caused him to resist his own calling, but ultimately led him to embrace it. After experiencing physical and emotional burnout himself, Graham recognized the need for healthy boundaries. Through Scripture and a deeper understanding of stewardship, he learned that caring for his wife, children, health, and congregation requires serving and protecting what God has entrusted to him.

Description:
Devin Akers discusses how stress and emotional avoidance can lead people to use distractions, such as YouTube, instead of processing their emotions. He explains how recognizing these patterns and developing self-awareness can help leaders respond to stress in healthier ways. Akers emphasizes the importance of moving toward trusted people rather than isolating yourself when struggling. He also highlights counseling as a safe and objective space for developing self-awareness, vulnerability, and healthier relationships. Finally, he discusses the importance of building a personal support team and explains how vulnerability, although difficult and frightening, can lead to healing and help reduce the loneliness often experienced in ministry.

In this episode, Ryan looks at Nehemiah 6 and the moment fear tried to stop the wall from being built. Not with weapons, but with words. Voices meant to distract, discredit, and discourage. Ryan shows how fear rarely shows up looking like fear. It often sounds like wisdom: "play it safe," "don't get your hopes up," "just wait for a sign." He walks through fear's three assignments (shrink your vision, blur your calling, stun your momentum) and unpacks the toolkit God has already given from 2 Timothy 1:7: power, love, and a sound mind. Ryan also shares a personal story of nearly mistaking fear for wisdom in a major life decision. The charge for this episode is simple: fear will talk, but you don't have to answer it. Stay on the wall. Keep building. Don't let fear write your story.
