There is no typical work week for a pastor. Unforeseen life events, people in crisis, or administrative tasks will always be ever-changing week to week. While being flexible is necessary in ministry, so is establishing healthy boundaries and time management skills. On today's show, Ben Skipper, Senior Pastor of Carterville Baptist Church in Petal, Ms, and his wife Lindsay, share their insights on time management as a pastor and pastor's wife. Ben and Lindsay discuss the challenges of having a typical week, the importance of self-management, and advice for young pastors.

As you listen we hope you're encouraged to set healthy boundaries, while also remembering flexibility is key! Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend!

We hope by listening you've realized you’re not alone, or have been encouraged by the experiences, and sometimes mistakes, of others!

Today Ben and Lynley go back to where it all began, the very first episode! Not only will you hear clips they’ll discuss, but you’ll also hear the ways the two of them have grown over the last few years and what they wish they could have done differently.

Head to college, get married, land your dream job, have kids, go to church, and live the American Dream. It's the reality most American Christians are living in, and it's where the Ley Family found themselves when they experienced a calling from God asking them to leave it all behind.

On today's episode, Michael and Naomi Ley share their experiences as missionaries and the challenges they faced from letting go of dreams and expectations, difficulties in learning a new language, and the complexities of raising children on the mission field. The two share their journey of transitioning back to the US and the lessons they learned along the way. Despite the hardships, they express the joy and fulfillment of building relationships and the reward of surrendering their lives to God's mission.

We're thankful for the Ley's transparency in this difficult conversation and we're certain it will be an encouragement to everyone! Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend!
