Ministry leadership doesn’t have to be lonely. In this episode, we explore the surprising value of peer groups for ministry leaders—why they matter, how they work, and how they can be a game-changer for long-term health and impact.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Jason Daye and Jim Marvine as they share personal stories and practical insights on:

• The power of shared wisdom and mutual support
• Why isolation is one of the most overlooked risks in ministry
• How peer advisory groups help leaders stay grounded, encouraged, and accountable
• What makes a peer group thrive—and how to find one that fits

Whether you’re feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or simply hungry for deeper connection with other ministry leaders, this conversation will give you clarity, hope, and a next step.
