Pastoring through pain: Leading in the midst of suffering
As pastors, we’re called to shepherd others through life’s challenges, sometimes even when we’re navigating our own pain. Declan Smith, lead Pastor of Matamata Baptist Church, shares his experience of pastoring a church through tragedy, offering valuable insights on how to lead with authenticity and compassion when unimaginable pain strikes. Join us as we explore pastoring while suffering and the power of vulnerable leadership. The release of this episode lands on the week marking the second anniversary of the passing of Declan’s Co-pastor and friend, Sean Schutte.
