What happens when a pastor leaves ministry and has to figure out who they are all over again?

In this episode of The Outstand Podcast, Chandler Boyce sits down with Evan Doyle, a former pastor who spent 18 years in ministry before transitioning into a new season of life, work, coaching, content, and leadership.

Evan shares the story of planting a church in California, returning home, serving on staff for years, navigating church culture, and eventually stepping away from full-time ministry. This conversation gets honest about burnout, identity, family, values, vocational transition, and the complicated emotions that come when your role, church, relationships, and calling are all deeply connected.

If you are a pastor, church leader, former ministry staff member, or someone walking through a major life transition, this episode will help you process the in-between with honesty, hope, and clarity.

Because leaving a role does not mean your calling is over. Sometimes, it means a new version of your calling is just beginning.
