In this podcast, Dr. Richard Kronk and I discuss his book, Not Called. Do you remember being called into ministry? How do you look back at that now?

Why do pastors quit? Perhaps a positive way to frame this is, what keeps pastors from quitting? The pressures to quit is great.

I reflect often on how the church is as healthy as it's families. And a healthy family is where there is a man, a husband and father who loves Jesus, and the gospel is the basis of his commitment to marriage.

Morning Mindset Episode 4: Before You Quit, Ask Yourself These Things | Show Notes I made a mistake by staying too long in a role that no longer served me!
