    When Church Leaders Fight Depression: A Message to Church Members about Pastors and Depression – Part 2 of 3 Jan 20, 2022
    Show notes

    Mark and Thom discuss the painful issue of depression among pastors and other church staff. In many ways, it has become an epidemic and must be addressed. In this second of three podcasts, Mark and Thom address church members directly about this issue, urging them to be proactive in helping their pastors and other church leaders.

    1. Most pastors don’t feel like they can tell anyone about their struggles.

    2. Suicide is a real and present danger.

    3. Every pastor and staff member needs at least one church member advocate.

    4. Your pastor might need time off.

    5. Ask your pastors how they are doing mentally and emotionally.

    Mark and Thom discuss the painful issue of depression among pastors and other church staff. In many ways, it has become an epidemic and must be addressed. In this first of three podcasts, they share why depression is a growing malady among these leaders.

    1. Because more church leaders are willing to admit their struggles.

    2. Because social media is often toxic.

    3. Because critics are more emboldened.

    4. Because “victories” are more elusive.

    5. Because these leaders are pouring out without anyone pouring in.

    6. Because spiritual warfare is real.

    • You are among a large number of people if you get fired in ministry.

    How to Be Considered to Be Pastor of Another Church – Part 2 of 3: When a Church Is Looking for a Pastor Nov 18, 2021
    Show notes

    You are the pastor of a church where you sense it’s time to leave. You are looking for another opportunity, and you hear of a church that seems like a great fit for you. How do get considered by that church? Kevin and Thom provide guidance to those pastors seeking to go to another church.

    1. Make certain you are not succumbing to the green-grass syndrome.

    2. Make certain your spouse is on board.

    3. Do not submit a resume and/or application directly.

    4. Ask someone you trust to recommend you. Make certain that person will shoot straight about your fit at the potential church.

    5. Get someone to evaluate your resume.

    6. Respond honestly and promptly if the church contacts you.
