#7: Are you, Ok? | Lessons Learned & Wisdom Earned From My First Year in Charge of Everything feat. Gary Roca

Ministry Without Hating It

Taking the reins of leadership in ministry, especially when it's for the first time, can be quite a challenge. Is it possible in the midst of the messiness of starting a new ministry leadership assignment to stay sane?
In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Gary Roca to debrief with him on completing his first year of leading as a Senior Pastor, for the first time for him in ministry. Through the highs, lows and navigating church cultural changes, Gary has learned some profound lessons, in a short amount of time, that ministry leaders of all types will find applicable.
