    Hey, Pastors! You’re Not Crazy! Aug 03, 2021

    Introducing You’re Not Crazy: Gospel Sanity for Young Pastors, hosted by Ray Ortlund and Sam Allberry. Throughout their discussions, Ray and Sam point young pastors back to the simplicity of gospel doctrine which creates a healthy gospel culture within the church. Navigating the tough, common issues that young pastors might face—from spiritual burnout to resenting ministry altogether—Ray and Sam tie each episode together with gospel hope and practical encouragement.

    As recipients of the grace of Jesus, how can pastors then see that grace express itself outwardly—shaping church, ministry, and relationships? Considering it a privilege to serve their listeners, Ray and Sam want to say, "You’re not crazy."
