Ep. 296 The importance of hobbies
In this episode of Trench Talk Brian Croft and Jim Savastio explore why hobbies are essential for ministry leaders. They argue that pursuing personal interests outside of ministry helps prevent burnout, provides rest, and celebrates individual creativity. Using Jim's acting experience as an example, they encourage pastors to find activities they enjoy without feeling guilty, emphasizing that having diverse interests is healthy and God-honoring.
