On rest and resiliency in pastoral ministry with Josh Hedger.
Appears in this episode
In this edition of the Ministry Minded Podcast, I am thrilled to share mine and Josh Hedger’s discussion of the pastorate and how modernity’s expectations of pastors can create unhealthy and unsustainable ministry environments. May you be blessed by this conversation notwithstanding your current ministerial context.
Josh Hedger currently serves as the Pastor of Teaching and Leadership for Emmaus Church in Kansas City, Missouri, where he lives with his wife and two children. You can connect Josh on Twitter and Facebook.
