Key Takeaways
1) Michael developed the concern for providing soul care for pastors and church leaders partly out of his own personal ministry hurt.
2) It’s really important for any pastor to take control of their financial plan. Far too many leaders wait until things become truly desperate before taking action.
3) A small group of trusted friends helped my family and me experience healing over several months. Without them, my story would be quite different.
4) Our greatest hope is to help pastors understand that there is a way to live a full life now and finish well in the future.
