What if some of the things pastors do to help their churches are actually hurting them?

This week, John, Tom Lizzie, and Todd talk about pastors doing too much, trying to be the expert, hiding behind a “pastor” persona, playing it safe in the pulpit, and unintentionally teaching congregations to depend on them. It's a candid conversation about what pastors get wrong and what healthier ministry could look like.

Does God have a specific plan for every detail of your life? The person you marry, the job you take, the house you buy, and every decision along the way?

And if so…what happens when you make the wrong choice? Tom and John wrestle with what we really mean when we talk about “God’s plan.”

Plus, we celebrate 175 episodes of whatever it is we've been doing here.

Whether we're talking about sports, worship, communion, or Christian community, everything changes when we understand what we're actually experiencing. If you've ever wondered why church feels meaningful to some people but empty to others, this conversation is for you.
