The Need For Friendship

Ministry can be rewarding, but it can also be lonely. Many pastors struggle to develop deep, meaningful friendships—whether due to time constraints, unrealistic expectations, or the weight of leadership. But no one is meant to do life alone. In this episode we discuss why it is difficult to develop solid friendships and how we can overcome those obstacles to create friendships that help us last in ministry.
