Pastors face unique challenges—burnout, isolation, and conflict—but they also experience incredible triumphs through God’s grace. In this episode, guest host Tricia Hicks (Strength for the Journey Podcast) sits down with Dr. Don Hicks, founder of Church Health Solutions and professor at Liberty University Theological Seminary, to explore the realities of pastoral ministry and a bold vision for the future.
