Ep. 143: Reasons for a Pastor to Leave a Church

When does a pastor know that it is time for him to move on? Are there indicators with his family, calling, or soul that might direct him to do so? Are there ever legitimate reasons to leave? If so, what might some of those be? Where in Scripture do we have a foundation for enduring hardship in ministry?

Brian Croft and Jim Savastio answer these, and many more questions on this episode of Trench Talk.
