Ministry is beautiful and brutal.
It’s sacred work, but it can also be lonely, exhausting, and messy. This podcast is for those still showing up, the pastors, volunteers, and leaders who believe the work is worth it, even when it’s hard.
Through honest conversations and real stories, we’ll explore leadership, culture, and the ways God meets us in the middle of it all. Because ministry isn’t just about what we do, it’s about who we’re becoming while we do it.
Keep going. You’re not alone.
