Pastors face unexpected challenges all the time.
Tara Beth and Mark talk about the many active struggles of ministry. Antagonism and all sorts of sources have created a polarized world. Often this blows up in the church. Mark and Tara Beth share their insights from mediating conflicts, understanding underlying issues, and knowing when it might be time to move on from a pastoral role.
Pastors foster a reconciling presence as Christ was a reconciling force through his ministry.
