Episode 154: The Truth About Ministry Leaders with Ben and Lynley Mandrell

On today’s show, we are welcoming Ben and Lynley Mandrell. Ben is the president and CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources and is starting a brand new podcast called the Glass House that Angie is producing.  Ben, Lynley, and Angie explore struggles for ministry leaders and what it means to be vulnerable and rise above extreme criticism. Since we are all called to be ministers in our own spheres of influence, this episode is a must-listen for every person in a place of leadership. They also chat about difficulty with marriage for pastors and how counseling makes a major difference.    Listen and subscribe to The Mandrell’s new podcast, The Glass House here!   Quotes from the show:    “Being engaged with The Holy Spirit and reading scripture and being in relationship with healthy Christians is important, because those metrics that we place upon ourselves are seldom fair or even biblical… It’s culturally-created metrics that we’ve put up there that we’re comparing ourselves against.” Connect with Ben and Lynley: Twitter: @BenMandrell IG: @benmandrell FB: Ben Mandrell   Mentioned in the episode:   The Snare of Compare talk Jon Acuff @jonacuff   Connect With Angie: Website: chatologie.com IG: @angiebrownelkins Twitter: @Angieelkins Facebook: @chatologieangieelkins This episode was edited and produced by Angie Elkins Media
