Holding Grief and Joy: A Pastor’s Journey & Inner Resilience with Raphael Mnkandhla
In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Raphael Mnkandhla, Lead Pastor of City Church in Williamsport, PA, to hear the remarkable story of how God met him in profound loss and shaped him into a resilient shepherd. From growing up in Zimbabwe and working in AIDS-awareness ministry to navigating trauma, grief, and pastoral leadership, Raphael shares how suffering has deepened his compassion, clarified his calling, and refined his inner life. Together, we explore the paradox of grief and joy in ministry, the subtle idols and ruling passions pastors must confront, and the practices that sustain hope over the long haul. This conversation offers honest encouragement for pastors and leaders who long to lead from a healed and wholehearted place.
