What does it take to serve faithfully in ministry for the long haul?

In this episode of FrontStage BackStage, PastorServe CEO and best-selling author Jimmy Dodd joins us for a vital conversation about protecting your ministry integrity and steering clear of the failures that have derailed too many in ministry.

This is a hope-filled and practical guide for pastors and ministry leaders who want to finish well. Jimmy shares how intentional habits, proactive safeguards, and spiritual disciplines can help protect your calling and sustain your leadership for decades to come.

We explore:

• Why moral integrity is essential to long-term ministry health
• How pastors can build intentional guardrails to avoid failure
• Practical steps for protecting your heart, marriage, and calling
• How to focus on grace-filled safeguards
• Encouragement for leaders weary of the pressure to “hold it all together”

Whether you’re early in ministry or decades in, this episode will help you serve with integrity, finish strong, and thrive in the calling God has entrusted to you.
