Pastor Aaron Gehrke has served 15 years in one congregation — something almost unheard of today. In this episode, Tim Ahlman sits down with Aaron to unpack what he’s learned about discipleship, leadership development, and staying healthy in ministry over the long haul.

From raising up leaders who multiply, to embracing sabbaticals as essential rhythms of health, Aaron offers grounded wisdom for pastors and church leaders alike. They also discuss the growing conversation within the LCMS between “Barrier Breakers” and “Distinction Keepers” — and how faithfulness might actually live in the tension between both.

Whether you’re a pastor, leader, or layperson passionate about the mission of Jesus, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how the church grows — not by doing more, but by developing more disciples who make disciples.
