Having the Perseverance to Finish Well with Jon Thompson

In this episode of the Craft & Character podcast, Steve Carter interviews Pastor Jon Thompson from Sanctus Church in Toronto, Canada about the importance of perseverance in pastoral ministry.

Jon is one of Canada’s most thoughtful and insightful shepherds and he shares about a book he wrote that unpacks 15 different observations at the halfway point about how to finish well.

Bobby Clinton, the legendary Fuller Professor once said only 30% of leaders finish well. How do you become one of the 30%?

Reading and mediating on Pastor Thompson’s observations are definitely a gift for those starting out in ministry, at the midway point, or closing in on the finish line.
