If you’ve ever felt soul-weary while still showing up for others, this conversation with author and former pastor Lance Witt will be like water for your soul. His wisdom, honesty, and practical tools will encourage any leader in ministry—especially those on the front lines of missions.

In This Episode, We Cover:

✅ Early warning signs of soul neglect and how leaders can drift into running on skill instead of the Spirit

✅ Why soul health is the most powerful leadership tool a pastor or missionary can develop

✅ How the pace of Jesus challenges our addiction to hurry—and the disciplines that help slow us down

✅ What Sabbath rest teaches us about trust, identity, and letting go of control

✅ A better pursuit than growth: choosing godliness over size and applause

✅ How to discern between wisdom and fear when facing hard leadership decisions

✅ Practical ways to invest in the spiritual and relational health of your team
