Episode Synopsis


This episode of Greatheart’s Table is the third of three which are here reset from when they originally aired in the fall of 2021. 



One of our objectives here is to encourage pastors to stay in ministry and, if possible, to stay at their churches. But also, we realize, that is not always possible or wise.



Sometimes it is simply necessary to move on, and so it can be helpful to consider when that might be. It’s never an easy decision. 



Thanks for listening. And if you can, please rate and review Greatheart’s Table on your podcast platform. Every bit helps get the word to more people. Thank you.

Philippians 1:21



When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him, but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him, but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket. (Acts 9:23-25)
