But there’s something uniquely challenging about leaving a position in full-time vocational ministry. Whether you’re stepping down from a church or leaving a kingdom nonprofit, it’s not as simple as just changing jobs. Suddenly, everything changes. You’re left navigating not just a career transition, but also a profound shift in identity, community, and daily routines. It feels like stepping into an unknown, filled with questions like, ”What’s next? How do I redefine myself outside the ministry? How do I maintain my faith amidst this transition?” Welcome to the Life After Ministry Podcast. We’ve been there, navigating the complex journey from vocational ministry to a new chapter in our lives. We’ll explore stories of transformation, hear from those who’ve walked this path before, and provide practical strategies to turn your transition into transformation.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T08:22:15.146726+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-after-ministry-6573611"},"episode":{"title":"How To Figure Out Your Career After Ministry (featuring Bill Tom)","slug":"how-to-figure-out-your-career-after-ministry-featuring-bill-tom","published_at":"2023-09-13T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-after-ministry-6573611/how-to-figure-out-your-career-after-ministry-featuring-bill-tom","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-after-ministry-6573611","url":"https://lifeafterministry.podbean.com/e/how-to-figure-out-your-career-after-ministry/","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/a0f638887855131516cf8a97a18fac44c2097a52478b6a28f9d4910eb64a71e6/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJkYTc3MTI3My0zODJlLTQwYWItYmI0MC0xNmJiZjRjOTA2ZWMiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmYWM2NjBmZS05OGMxLTRhMzEtOWVhMS03MmU5MTgxOWZkNWMiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2MzdhYjc0MDg5YzVkMjAwMGNhYmNmNjMiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvaW1wb3J0cy9wb2RjYXN0cy9mYWM2NjBmZS05OGMxLTRhMzEtOWVhMS03MmU5MTgxOWZkNWMvZXBpc29kZXMvZGE3NzEyNzMtMzgyZS00MGFiLWJiNDAtMTZiYmY0YzkwNmVjL0xpZmVfQWZ0ZXJfTWluaXN0cnlfUG9kY2FzdF9FcGlzb2RlXzI3aTVncC5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"For more information about the work we do at Pastoral Transitions, visit us at https://pastoraltransitions.com/ To book a confidential call with our team, go to: https://pastoraltransitions.com/talk In Episode 2 of the Life After Ministry Podcast, we sit down with Bill Tom, Founder, CEO, and Chief Ministry Officer of Pastoral Transitions.
