After the Pulpit - A Conversation with Pastor William Mack

About this episode

Kevin Hu and Pastor William Mack discuss the challenges and experiences of transitioning from pastoral leadership to being a congregant.

For many pastors, the church isn't just where they worship, it's where they lead, care for others, and carry enormous responsibility. But what happens when that role ends and the pastor becomes a congregant again? In this episode, Kevin Hu and Pastor William Mack explore the honest journey of stepping away from pastoral leadership, wrestling with identity and belonging, and finding a way back to Christian community. rootedpastors.org
