Podcasts about pastoral transitions

On this episode of March or Die, I'm joined by Matt Davis from Pastoral Transitions to discuss navigating life transitions, his experience with transitioning out of ministry, and what he's doing now with the Pastoral Transitions team. Matt served as a Teaching and Executive Pastor for more than two decades in Orange County, California. He is a graduate of Biola University and Talbot School of Theology. After going through his own pastoral transition out of ministry, Matt learned the difficulty of this season. After a time of wandering and figuring out what was next, he started a new venture as a brand strategist with Donald Miller at StoryBrand, working primarily with nonprofits and small businesses on telling their story and fine-tuning their messaging.  Learn more about Pastoral Transitions:https://pastoraltransitions.com/ Follow March or Die:https://instagram.com/marchordieclipshttps://tiktok.com/march_or_die Follow Jeremy on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeremystalneckerofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremystalneckerTwitter: https://twitter.com/jstalneckerAlso at: https://jeremystalnecker.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

This subject is coming up more and more every day. We at Poimen Ministries are finding ourselves in conversations every week with pastors who are looking to the future, and wondering what they should do now with regard to their own pastoral transition. The bottom line is this: unless Jesus returns before you've come to the end of your ministry at your present church, someone else will pastor your church. Therefore, at the very least, every pastor should prepare for someone else to be in the saddle. Pastor Jimmy Morales asked show host Bill Holdridge if he could interview him with his own list of questions on this topic. The resultant interview is from that discussion. Jimmy Morales pastors Fervent Church (formerly called Calvary Chapel Lone Mountain) in North Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a strong leader, with a kingdom vision for the ministry the Lord has given him.

Pastoral transitions are inevitable for every church. They can often result in major setbacks which is why it is vital to plan for succession.

Jimmy Morales pastors a wonderful church body in Las Vegas, Nevada. The name of the fellowship is Calvary Chapel Lone Mountain. I (show host Bill Holdridge) had the privilege of being with this congregation early in February of 2022. One of the plans we had for my time there was to record a podcast interview with Jimmy ... only in this podcast he would be the one interviewing me. He wanted to hear about pastoral transitions, so he prepared a list of commonly asked (or unasked) questions on that topic. So, that's what we talked about. Jimmy is not in the process of transition himself, nor is he planning a transition. He's still young, the church is exploding, and he's got a lot of gas left in his ministry tank. But Jimmy does have a heart for other pastors, and thus, the questions. When is a good time for a pastor to retire from his church pastorate? How does a transition process move forward? What should pastors do now, even those pastors who have years ahead of them in their present church? Is it better to choose a successor from within the fellowship, or from without? How involved should church leaders be in helping the pastor transition? And so on. Listen in. Pass it on. As we've said many times before, unless Jesus Christ returns before a pastor dies, someone else will pastor that church. Why not (at the very least) start pastoring as a pastor who is in transition? Why not have an emergency plan in case something happens to you? Why not invite outside counsel to come in and help with your thinking process?

Pastoral transitions can be a challenge for all involved. Join the conversation between Pastor Jerron and special guest, Pastor Aaron Sizemore of Ocala, Florida. In this episode they will discuss the roles of the outgoing pastor, the successor, and the church congregants.

"Should I stay or should I go?" In this episode, Mike discusses some of the right and wrong reasons for pastors to consider transitioning to another church or ministry.

I want to discuss the challenge all transitional pastors are facing – this Covid-19 virus is forcing us transitional pastors to personally practice what we ask every church we lead to do – change!!How do you re-examine leading yourself, leading your staff, caring for your people and altering your preaching? Plus These are challenging days – but these are days of opportunity if we as transitional leaders and churches open up our hearts and minds to what God may be doing to set the church up to expand His kingdom.  If you are intrigued by this podcast, I would encourage you to consider learning about this vital ministry. Go to www.transitionalleadership.org and check out the site or the training but make sure you download the free paper – “101 Tips for Transitional Leadership Success.”If you enjoyed this, I would ask that you subscribe to this podcast, share it with someone you know and I would be thrilled if you would leave a review to help me get this podcast out to help hurting congregations.Next podcast I will be discussing the topic: “Understanding the 8 Key Elements of Transitional Pastoring – Part II

Pastoral Transitions have an awful lot to teach us about pastoring the churches we currently pastor. There are lessons on developing leaders, about communication, about godly vision, and many other subjects. In this podcast, Pastor Ed Compean of Shoreline Calvary Chapel in Morro Bay, CA, and Pastor Jack Arnold of Calvary Mt. Si in North Bend, WA share their stories, stories which are intertwined, but also are very different. With them, show host Bill Holdridge explores subjects like reentry from the mission field, cultural adjustments, leadership equity and how to gain it, and vision for church and community.

Three of Poimen Ministries' experienced team of pastors explore some of the myths of the process of finding a new pastor, and transitioning from what was to what shall be. Common myths include: (1) Transitions are smooth and easy, it's no big deal; (2) Who would ever want to come and pastor this church?; (3) Most pastors recognize when it's time to transition their church; (4) The current pastor needs to disappear as quickly as possible post-transition. There is much to say on this subject, so say tuned!
