Episode Details

Are you quietly unhappy in ministry, feeling burned out, or wondering how long you can keep going? You’re not alone. In this conversation with Jourdan Lunsford, we talk about the hidden pain many women ministry leaders carry—and the steps toward healing, joy, and sustainable ministry.

Jourdan shares her journey of laying down identity tied to ministry roles, processing unresolved pain, and discovering the power of Sabbath, stillness, and safe vulnerability. If you’ve ever felt the weight of shame, busyness, or burnout, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why shame is such a sneaky lie in ministry
• How to recognize the warning signs of burnout
