Summary
Pastors and church staff regularly call others into community, vulnerability, and asking for help—but many of us struggle to live that out ourselves. The expectations are high. The roles are visible. And the pressure to stay strong can quietly lead to isolation. In today’s episode, we explore five reasons pastors avoid asking for help—and the real cost of carrying the weight of leadership alone. This conversation is honest, practical, and rooted in the belief that pastors need care just as much as the people they serve. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it all together, this episode is for you.
