“What’s the hardest job in the world? Some would argue, ‘motherhood’, and they’re probably right. But anyone who knows a pastor personally, knows that being a pastor is way up there on the list of hardest jobs. And that’s why I talked with Ed Welch today about pastors, the challenges of being a pastor, and how CCEF is trying to help in this season.” Host, Alasdair Groves
