I participate in a weekly meeting of pastors in our region called, Gatekeepers. Every week, we get together for a no agenda meeting incorporating sharing, prayer and mutual encouragement. One of the pastors this past week spoke about a sermon he preached recently on the subject finishing well.  It is difficult to find pastors or leaders who make it to sixty and are still filled with passion and drive to do ministry. If you take an honest look around you, it is difficult to find older ministers who are finishing well. During the podcast, I share the basics of how to stay passionate about ministry. I put them into a downloadable PDF file that you can access <a href= "https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/104336?v=6">here</a>. I also promised my free <a href= "https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/95121?v=6">eBook</a> on how pastors should use social media. Al Elsdon is referenced during the podcast. You can hear an amazing testimony of his WWII experiences <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbx0Fw847sw" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">here</a>.   We also offer a free download <a href= "https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/104336?v=6" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
