Ministry can be meaningful, demanding, and deeply rewarding, but it should never come at the cost of your marriage.
In this episode, Brad Rhoads talks with Jeff Iorg about the unique marriage challenges ministry leaders face and why pastors are not exempt from the same marriage practices they teach others. Jeff shares from decades of ministry leadership, church planting, and seminary experience about setting boundaries, prioritizing time with your spouse, and learning to say no.
They discuss why ministry leaders often confuse availability with value, how to protect priority time with your spouse, and why a healthy marriage requires intentional rhythms even in demanding seasons.
In This Episode:
* Why ministry leaders face unique marriage pressures
* Why pastors should practice what they teach couples
* The difference between priority and time allocation
* How to protect daily, weekly, and seasonal connection
* Why learning to say no is essential
* How availability can become an unhealthy measure of value
