Back again for another episode with Dr. John Neufeld is Bob and Penny Armstrong. Bob and Penny have been working in ministry for over 30 years.

While ministerial burnout happens more often than we’d care to admit, there are things that can be done to prevent it! Tune in to this episode, it’s one you don’t want to miss!
