## Resource

More than a few pastors and leaders are leading on empty—spiritually dry, but outwardly active. They’re still preaching, leading, praying, and showing up for their people, but inside, the well has run dry. In today’s episode we explore the reasons why this phenomenon is occurring and outline five practical steps a leader can take to fill their inner tank.
