In this episode Ben and Lynley discuss a recent report from Lifeway Research on some of the greatest needs of pastors. While there’s a lot of data from this study that speaks to the challenges of today’s church leader, Ben and Lynley unpacked three findings that resonated with them personally, through their experiences and conversations with other leaders.
All listeners—whether they work in ministry, the marketplace, or the home—will find that these challenges play out in their own lives.

Quotes from this episode:
“There’s always a meeting to be squeezed in, there’s always an email that needs to be sent. We’ve been guilty of not taking advantage of Sabbath rest, but it’s essential. If I don’t make myself rest, the Lord will make me rest.”
“In this season we need to rally around our pastors and pastor’s wives as they continue to lead us.”
“The most important ingredient in leadership is faith.”
