The Sabbath Is Built Into the Fabric of the Universe

What does it take to stay faithful in ministry for the long haul?

In this episode, Jason Ballard sits down with Darrell & Sharon Johnson, Helen Burns, Murray Coughlan, and Jeremiah Niengor to begin a special mini-series on pastoral faithfulness. These leaders—each with decades of experience—share honest reflections on the joys and challenges of ministry, and what has sustained them through it all.

They talk about:

• Cultivating a deep love for Jesus and His Church

• Navigating seasons of disappointment, transition, and growth

• The quiet power of longevity in leadership

This conversation is a hopeful invitation to hold fast, lead with integrity, and trust that faithfulness still matters.
