Two weeks ago, my wife and I started our first sabatical. These are some of the conversations that we are having as we reflect on how God called us and changed our lives forever. Here is an opportunity to hear that from the perspective of becoming the pastor's wife.

Pastor burnout is real. Church struggles are real. But what if the secret to church growth isn’t about adding more programs—but about restoring health?

✅ Why church health matters more than growth
✅ How rest and boundaries fuel stronger leadership
✅ The Pastor’s Refuge—a retreat designed to restore pastors
✅ The warning signs of burnout (and how to prevent them)

If you're a pastor, ministry leader, or church revitalizer, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this conversation that could change your ministry—and your life.

 🔹 Trust is the foundation of leadership—but it’s easy to lose and hard to rebuild. Whether you’re stepping into a new church, leading a congregation through change, or repairing broken relationships, understanding how to build, maintain, and restore trust is critical.

✅ Why trust is the most valuable currency in leadership
✅ The biggest trust killers in ministry (and how to avoid them)
✅ How pastors can gain trust even in difficult church transitions
✅ Real-life examples of restoring broken trust in ministry
✅ How small actions make or break credibility over time
✅ The two-way street of trust – why pastors must also trust their people
