What if one of the most overlooked paths for healthy ministry leadership…is confession?
In this episode, pastor and author Mandy Smith invites us to consider how spiritual confession—far from being a weakness—can actually unlock depth, clarity, and power in our ministry leadership. Together, we explore how recognizing our often overlooked leanings toward self-sufficiency opens the door to greater reliance on God and deeper connection with those we serve.
This conversation is especially for pastors and ministry leaders who feel the tension between professionalism and personal vulnerability and long to serve more authentically.
We discuss:
- How honest confession shapes stronger, healthier leaders
- How vulnerability builds credibility in ministry leadership
- The dangers of professionalism without personal surrender
- What it looks like to rely on God instead of self
- Why leading from weakness might be the most Christlike thing you can do
If you’re a pastor or ministry leader who feels the pressure to hold it all together, this episode will offer fresh perspective, spiritual relief, and practical encouragement.
