Steve and Colleen talk with Tom and Karen Friedrichs of Broom Tree Landing, a ministry that offers no-cost retreat, coaching, and spiritual direction to pastors and ministry leaders who are tired, hurting, or on the edge of burnout. They share their own story of pastoral exhaustion, how God accelerated their “retirement dream” into a right now calling, and several powerful provision stories — including God funding someone’s retreat from another country.
You’ll hear:
- Why healthy churches need healthy leaders
- Signs of burnout pastors often ignore
- Why availability is the real ministry
- How God provides when you finally say “yes”
