Pastoral Care: Pastor Don Miller

In this episode of the Experience Emerge Podcast, recorded live at a ministry convention in Orlando, we sit down with Pastor Don Miller, Superintendent of the Southern Missouri District of the Assemblies of God, for an honest conversation about the unique challenges of pastoral ministry.

This conversation explores what it means to care well for those who spend their lives caring for others. From maintaining healthy priorities and protecting family relationships to avoiding the trap of allowing ministry work to replace a personal relationship with God, Pastor Don offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement for pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone serving in God’s kingdom.

One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is that doing God’s work is not the same as being with God. Ministry can become another form of work if we neglect our own spiritual health. Healthy pastors lead healthier churches, and flourishing leaders create flourishing ministries.

Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, church staff member, or someone who loves and supports your local church, this episode will challenge you to think differently about leadership, rest, and the importance of keeping your life in God’s intended order.

If this conversation encourages you, share it with a pastor or ministry leader in your life as a reminder that their well-being matters.
