E121 - From Warrior to King: How Pastors Transition Leadership in Their 40s

Pastors in their 30s run on energy. Pastors in their 40s have to learn to run on something else. In this episode, we get honest about what that transition actually looks and feels like — from preaching five services a weekend and doing sermon planning at 9:30 PM, to realizing that the highest-leverage thing you can do for your church isn't more hours, it's better decisions. We walk through Arthur Brooks' From Strength to Strength, the warrior-to-king framework, and what the Bible has to say about the glory of gray hair. Practical, personal, and built for the pastor who wants to lead well for the long haul. Topics: pastoral leadership, ministry burnout, church growth, leadership transitions, From Strength to Strength, pastor in 40s, crystallized wisdom * Website: ⁠https://breakinggrowthbarriers.com⁠ [https://breakinggrowthbarriers.com/] * Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakinggrowthbarriers [https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakinggrowthbarriers/] * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/breakinggrowthbarriers [https://www.facebook.com/breakinggrowthbarriers/] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakinggrowthbarriers [https://www.instagram.com/breakinggrowthbarriers/]
