In this episode of The Healthy Christian Leader Show, host Dwight Habermehl welcomes Dave Witt from True Cityfor a rich conversation on the rhythms of prayer, rest, and community that sustain leaders over the long haul.
Drawing from his experience working with pastors and leaders across multiple denominations in Hamilton, Dave shares practical wisdom on cultivating Sabbath rest, developing a life-giving prayer life, and intentionally scheduling space for spiritual and emotional renewal. The conversation highlights the value of drawing from diverse prayer traditions, embracing surrender, and recognizing when imbalance signals the need for rest and recalibration.
Dwight and Dave also explore the critical role of community—both within congregations and among peer leaders—in fostering honesty, encouragement, and resilience. Topics include spiritual direction, coaching, intergenerational mentorship, and support for leaders serving in small or isolated communities.
This episode offers thoughtful guidance and encouragement for pastors and leaders seeking sustainable rhythms that nurture faith, health, and long-term fruitfulness in ministry and life.
