What No One Tells Pastors About Rest

Описание: If you’ve ever been exhausted in ministry, you’re not alone.
There’s the tired you choose, like pouring out, preaching, serving, discipling…
And then there’s the weight you never asked for, like betrayal, leadership tension, painful decisions, family stress, and the quiet grief leaders rarely talk about.

In this vulnerable Spire Network message, Scott Nickell explores the two kinds of tired every ministry leader carries, why a sabbatical didn’t magically fix it, and the only place true rest is actually found, not in location, not in escape, but in Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is for the pastors who stayed.
The leaders who kept showing up.
The servants who still believe God is faithful… even when the story didn’t go the way they planned.

If you’re weary, wounded, overwhelmed, discouraged, or simply human… this is for you.
Stay faithful. Stay the course. You have more help than you think.
