Episode notes
Include Family In Ministry
- Bring your family into ministry instead of isolating them from it by involving them in church life and hospitality.
- Be present at key family events and occasionally skip nonessential church meetings to show priority to your kids.
Pastoral Life Often Balances On One Leg
- Pastors often balance life on one leg because work, family, and social circles overlap in ministry.
- That overlap creates unique challenges and blessings that require intentional boundaries and presence.
Explain And Model Ministry Priorities
- When ministry pulls you away, explain it to your children and invite them to pray and care for those people.
- When possible, choose to skip a church duty to attend your child's big event and model family priority.
