Every pastor needs a pastor.
– Jeff Henderson, Founder, FOR Movement *
We believe the greatest job in the world is being a pastor.
As pastors, we get to see God work in people’s lives from the front row. We help people experience life change as they begin to live for Christ with their whole heart.
Every week, we impact hurting, broken people with the love and grace of Christ. There is nothing greater than being a pastor!
I would love to meet you and get to know your ministry and story.
Let’s Connect >>Why We Exist
As great as ministry is, serving as a pastor is not without its challenges.
Here are just some of the challenges we face:
- Spiritual dryness
- Negative self-talk
- Depression and loneliness
- Conflict and criticism
- Time management
- Weight gain
- Volunteer issues
Pastors love other people and want to help them grow in Christ but, before we know it, we realize we aren’t the person we want to be and we’re feeling overwhelmed.
But, it doesn’t have to be that way.

A Story
Do you remember the last time you flew?
My family and I flew to the Northwest in July 2019 to visit Seattle, Yellowstone, and Mount Rushmore. It was an amazing trip!
Every flight I’ve been on starts with the same boring announcement as a flight attendant instructs passengers what to do in an emergency.
I usually check out during the announcement because I’ve heard it so many times before:
In case of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, an oxygen mask will drop down before you. Simply place the mask over your nose and mouth and begin breathing. Make sure you have your mask on before you help others with their masks, including small children.
While the announcement is boring and monotonous, it carries a message for pastors:
Before we care for others, we need to care for ourselves.
Put another way, if we are not healthy, we can’t effectively help others.
How about you, pastor?
How are you doing?
You might not be the person you want to be but we can help you become the person God intended: a pastor thriving in life and ministry.
Let’s have a conversation, pastor to pastor.
There is no obligation. Let’s just connect and go from there.
