Ministry Leaders and their families live in a “glass house”—an environment where they are left vulnerable to the stress of ministry, the criticism of others, and feel the spotlight on their personal weaknesses.
Lifeway’s “The Glass House” is a space where ministry leaders will shed light on the challenges they often don’t feel permission to talk about. Listeners who work in the trenches of church life will feel seen and gain tools to navigate ministry and life. Those who live outside this “glass house” will better understand what it’s like to dwell there.
Join Ben and Lynley Mandrell for these shockingly confessional—yet redemptive—conversations.

There is no typical work week for a pastor. Unforeseen life events, people in crisis, or administrative tasks will always be ever-changing week to week. While being flexible is necessary in ministry, so is establishing healthy boundaries and time management skills. On today's show, Ben Skipper, Senior Pastor of Carterville Baptist Church in Petal, Ms, and his wife Lindsay, share their insights on time management as a pastor and pastor's wife. Ben and Lindsay discuss the challenges of having a typical week, the importance of self-management, and advice for young pastors.
As you listen we hope you're encouraged to set healthy boundaries, while also remembering flexibility is key! Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend!
