Episode Synopsis

The call to ministry is a call to lay down your life for others, but how do we create a well-thought-out roadmap toward pastoral perseverance - when there are external and/or internal difficulties? How do we approach congregational conflict, criticism, unrealistic expectations or personal health, financial and family stress? Why is pastoral friendship not optional, but essential? Today on The Pastor’s Heart, there’s advice for pastors who feel isolated and are feeling like quitting. Brian Croft leads Practical Shepherding in Louisville Kentucky.Matthew Spandler Davison also lives in Louisville, serves with Practical Shepherding, and as an executive director of 20 Schemes, Church in Hard Places in Scotland as well as the preaching pastor for Redeemer Fellowship in Bardstown, Kentucky.  The Church Cohttp://www.thechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.  Advertise on The Pastor's HeartTo advertise on The Pastor's Heart go to thepastorsheart.net/sponsorSupport the show
