Hi Reader,
Today on the podcast, John Mark Comer and Father Ronald Rolheiser join me for a fascinating conversation on who you become as you get older.
Ask yourself, are you slowly becoming more bitter? Without realizing it, the wounds of ministry and leadership can cause you to drift into greater bitterness and even anger as you get older.
Or you can choose a different path.
Father Ron Rolheiser has been a priest, theologian, and spiritual director for over 50 years. He’s also been in chemotherapy for a chronic cancer for the last 15. He understands life like few I have met.
Father Ron sat down with John Mark Comer (my guest co-interviewer for this episode) to talk about what ministry actually costs, why so many leaders end up bitter, and what it looks like to give your life away before it’s taken from you.
Here's your choice in the last third of your life: do you become pathetic (trying to act young when no one thinks you're young), bitter (because you have so many hurts), or holy (because you chose a better path)?
Every pastor needs this conversation, wherever you are in the journey.
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
