Kidmin Talk #177 - Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?
In this very personal, honest and direct podcast, Pastor Karl addresses one of the questions he is asked most often via email and in person, “How do know when it is time to leave a ministry?” Karl gives bold advice on the hard realities of ministry leadership, the challenges of working with imperfect ministry co-workers, reason not to leave, when you should leave, and practical advice on how to know when it is time to resign and seek a new church. He pulls no punches - you’ll be challenged and encouraged whether or not you are currently asking, “Should I stay or should I go now?”
