Pastoral Margins: Finding Balance in Ministry and in Life

Ministry can feel like it’s always competing with home. Pastors’ wives and children sometimes come to resent the church that seems to take their husband and father away. Drawing on more than four decades as a pastor, husband, and father, Hershael York argues in this breakout that God never calls a man to two tasks that work against each other. Through candid stories from his own marriage and family, he gives practical counsel on setting a joyful tone at home, guarding against temptation, including your wife in your ministry, and raising children who grow up loving the Lord their father serves.
