Imagine navigating the challenges of ministry without feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. Pastor Kevin Bueltmann, the director at Shepherds Canyon Retreat Center, shares his inspiring journey from burnout to healing, and how he now dedicates his life to supporting other ministry leaders in similar situations. Discover the critical importance of creating a supportive community where pastors can thrive, sustain their ministries, and find joy and hope even amidst the pressures of leadership transitions.

Pastors in medium-sized congregations often juggle multiple roles with limited support—a reality we explore in depth. Learn how building a ministry team and support network can distribute the weight of pastoral responsibilities. Highlighting the untapped potential of the boomer generation, we examine how their passion and experience can enhance church ministries without financial strain, empowering volunteers with meaningful roles to drive the church's mission forward effectively.

We also dive into the essential traits church leaders need in a post-Christian, secular culture. Through Pastor Kevin's personal anecdotes and lessons from Shepherds Canyon Retreat, we discuss humility, resilience, and the necessity of self-care for maintaining a balanced life and ministry. Hear inspiring stories of spiritual renewal and transformation, and gain insights into how shared experiences can foster healing and resilience within the American Christian Church, with a hopeful outlook on its potential for spiritual reformation.
