As pastors and ministry leaders, how can we take our pain and disappointments and allow God to reframe them for his good and his glory? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Lisa Victoria Fields. Lisa is a renowned Christian apologist who's produced two documentaries. She serves as the CEO of the Jude 3 Project, and her most recent book is entitled When Faith Disappoints. Together, Lisa and Jason look at some of the pain and disappointments that we often experience in our lives and leadership. Lisa then shares from her experiences as a ministry leader some keys in processing through these disappointments so we can avoid burning out in ministry.
