Can holy friendships be the key to preventing burnout in ministry? Join us on the Crabby Pastor podcast as Margie Bryce hosts Michaele LaVigne to explore how deep spiritual connections can sustain and enrich pastoral life. Currently, Michaele contributes to the Spiritual Formation Initiative at Nazarene Theological Seminary, focusing on spiritual direction and coaching. She will be hosting a webinar on August 29 on how to start a holy friendship group (see link below).
In our conversation, Michaele shares a personal story of feeling isolated in a large congregation and how divine intervention led her to form a spiritually enriching small group with two lay ministers. Using a spiritual formation primer from Renovare, they engaged in diverse Christian practices, ranging from scripture memorization to social justice actions. This journey not only transformed their spiritual lives but also influenced their congregational practices. Discover how structured holy friendships can lead to profound spiritual growth and leadership transformation.
We also navigate the challenges of establishing holy friendships in ministry, especially for women in leadership roles. Reflecting on biblical examples like Moses and Jethro or Elizabeth and Mary, we discuss the power of these connections. The episode concludes with a critical discussion on recognizing and preventing burnout among ministry leaders, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and safe spaces where pastors can be honest and supported.
