Fly on the Wall Podcast With Chris Sonksen
189 | Preparing for the Future—And Healing from Ministry Hurt
There are two big questions we don’t talk about enough in ministry:
- How do I prepare now for the next 20 years of leadership and life?
- What do I do with the pain I’ve already walked through?
In Episode 189 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sit down with Pastor Jonathan for a powerful, vulnerable conversation on both. We talk about financial readiness, family rhythms, spiritual obedience—and the emotional toll ministry can take when betrayal and burnout hit home.
You’ll hear:
- What it looks like to prepare for your second chapter—whether that’s retirement or a new way to lead
- Why obedience matters more than “balance” in family life
- A simple heart-check to evaluate if you’re really walking in spiritual health
- How I’ve processed deep wounds from people I trusted
- Why coaching, forgiveness, and leadership clarity matter now more than ever
Whether you're in a season of building, rebuilding, or looking ahead—this conversation will challenge you to lead with intentionality and finish well.
