Are you living your dream life in ministry? 

This is the question we have been asking around here at Ministry Hackers a lot lately, and we are really dialing in on our mission to help pastors and ministry leaders do just that. Live your dream life in ministry. So, in today's episode, I am going to unpack what that means and what you need to do if the answer to that is 'no'. 

In this episode, I share with you a mistake that I make over and over again that many pastors make as well. We will talk about the headache, stress, and financial burden these mistakes create for us, and the secret to getting the best quality from the decisions we make. 

Do you want to live your DREAM LIFE IN MINISTRY?

Ministry is challenging and hard work, but it is also fulfilling, exciting, and a privilege to serve the Lord and his people. However, many of us are doing ministry wrong and it is sucking the life out of us. What we imagined our lives would be like in ministry is so far from the realities we live in every day. 

That's why I am offering this great new opportunity to discover your Dream Life in Ministry. It is a 30-day consulting experience where I come alongside you and give you the key to your dream life. I show exactly how to get there and the steps you need to take. 

Go to ministryhacker.com/dreamlife to get all the details and see how you can start living your dream life in just 30 days. 

When we were first called to ministry, we had dreams and visions and even God-ordained understandings of what ministry would look like...or at least what it could look like. But, when we look around at our lives now, it is a far cry from what we imagined. You know ministry would be hard, but you didn't realize it would be this hard. Well, in this episode I share a bit of my heart of what I believe is possible for you and how you can live your dream life in ministry. 

I also share with you an opportunity for you to be on your way to your dream life in ministry within 30 days. 

Are you a visionary pastor struggling with overwhelm? Here is how you can change that: https://brandonpardekooper.com/mydreamlife

Knowing the church life cycle is essential, but where the rubber meets the road is when we try to navigate change based on the life cycle. In the life cycle, there are two specific change points. One is much easier to navigate than the other, and I will show you the difference in this episode. Both require different skill sets because they deal with different issues and that is what I am going to reveal to you today. 

We all face the question...how do you know you are pastoring a growing church? How do we measure that? How does scripture measure that? How do you get off the hamster wheel chasing metrics that do not accurately tell you whether or not you have a healthy growing church. 

Well, in this episode, I hope to show you exactly what we mean in the Ministry Hacker community when we talk about pastoring a growing church. It may be encouraging for you or it may be challenging. It may actually be both.

Are you a visionary pastor struggling with overwhelm? Here is how you can change that: https://brandonpardekooper.com/mydreamlife

We talk a lot about the growing shortage of pastors and ministry leaders throughout the country. It leads us to ask the question, what is happening at the Bible College and Ministry Training School level? Is ministry training struggling and what can pastors do when they identify someone with a call on their lives for ministry? 

In this episode, I sit down with Kolby Kissinger, Director of Oaks College, and we discuss what they are doing on their end to train young people for a lifetime in ministry. 

This weekend there is a test to see if you are in an emotionally healthy place. The question is, will you pass the test. Today we discuss how to prepare for the test and what you need to do if you don't pass. 

Looking for a new ministry position, but hearing the words "I'm sorry, but we have decided to go in a different direction" never settles well. In today's episode, I share what you can do to absorb those words, process them, and start moving toward the position God has for you.

Instead, you should listen to this episode and learn how to restructure your resume so you will get an interview for that new opportunity you are excited about.
