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.

True or False: Hiring your friend is a great idea?
On today’s show we tackle the conversation of friendships and whether or not you should hire your friends. Friendships can be complicated as it is, so at what cost do you risk the friendship to have the opportunity to work together? Ben and Lynley share personal stories about their own friendships over the years, how the quote “it’s lonely at the top” has played out in their life, and how the needs for friendships are different for men and women.
