The Healthy Pastor Podcast

Are you trying to do too much on your own?

In this episode of The Healthy Pastor Podcast, we're joined by pastor John Nuzzo of Victory Family Church. We're discussing the common traps that lead to burnout and how these hinder your congregation from growing and flourishing.

Learn how you and your church can thrive when you have the right structures in place!

Living an abundant life means having the ability to love everyone equally. But how can we truly achieve this in a world so often divided?

While the enemy seeks to divide us, the Lord desires to unite us. By prioritizing the kingdom culture over worldly culture, we can witness exponential growth in the church.

In this episode, we'll explore the importance of diversity and inclusion within ministry.

The demands of ministry can be exhausting. The pressure to bring your best every single Sunday can wear down even the best of leaders.

It’s unlikely ministry pressure will go away—so if you want to make it long-term, you’ll have to find ways to navigate it well. For many, part of the answer comes in the form of shifting your mindset.

In this episode, pastor Lyle Wells joins The Healthy Pastor Podcast to discuss some different ways of thinking about the demanding rhythms of life in ministry. Tune in for some practical tools to help you avoid burnout, build resilience, and make a long-term impact on those you are entrusted to lead.

Who will take your place?

Navigating leadership transitions can be challenging.

On this week’s episode of The Healthy Pastor Podcast, we're diving headfirst into exploring how to ensure a smooth transition. John and Arden are joined by Pastor Matt Hagee who shares what he's learned about passing the torch. Learn how to create a solid strategy for who will take over from you, how to mentor future leaders, and how to stay aligned with God's vision.

Tune in for insights on preserving strong and healthy church leadership!

What's the secret to a successful ministry?

Psalm 133 gives us one of the most critical keys: unity. It’s been said that if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. But building a close-knit team requires some difficult leadership decisions. Many pastors and leaders feel they have to carry the full weight of building their church’s culture.

There are often fears like: what if I say the wrong thing and it divides my church? How do I handle conflict within my staff members? If you've asked these questions, you're not alone.

In this week's episode of The Healthy Pastor Podcast, John and Arden are joined by guest Rob Ketterling, pastor of River Valley Church, who shares insights that will help you build a more united culture amongst those you lead.

Join us to learn how to make sure you are engaging everyone, no matter their age, in their discipleship journey!

Since we live in a broken world, suffering is an inescapable part of the story. We will all face great pain at some point, but because of the gospel we have hope that this is not the end of the story.

Today, Pastor Jacob Aranza joins us to unpack how learning to navigate pain is an integral part of our spiritual progress. What does it look like to remain obedient in suffering? How does God meet us in the place of pain?
