Strengthening churches. Your pastor carried something this week that no one in the congregation knows about. He preached. He sat with a family in the worst hour of their lives. He answered the email that ruined his Tuesday. And when the weight landed on him, most likely there was no one he could tell about it. After more than forty years in pastoral ministry, I am convinced of one thing: healthy churches begin with healthy shepherds. Yet many pastors have very few places where they can speak honestly about discouragement, conflict, fear, or exhaustion. That&#39;s why I started Helping Leaders Last. And that&#39;s why I am looking for 25 Founding Partners who will help launch the first year of this ministry. Last year I sat across from a pastor who told me, &quot;I&#39;ve spent years helping everyone else through crisis, and I don&#39;t know who to call for my own.&quot; He wasn&#39;t looking for a conference or another book. He needed trusted relationships. He needed a safe room where he could be honest. He&#39;s not alone. The goal of Helping Leaders Last is simple: fewer pastors serving alone, stronger leaders in the pulpit, healthier churches in our communities. What We Do Cohorts. Two each year, with six to ten pastors in each cohort, meeting throughout the year around honest conversation, practical wisdom, and real-life ministry challenges. Retreats. One retreat for every cohort. Time away, unhurried, with others carrying the same weight. Seminars. Two open gatherings a year for area pastors, whether or not they participate in a cohort. The Table. Coffee and lunch, week after week. Most of what matters starts here.It costs approximately $5,000 to walk alongside one pastor for a year. No pastor pays that cost. Donors do. Become a Founding Partner I am inviting 25 people to become Founding Partners at $1,500 per year, either as $125 per month or through a one-time gift. Those first 25 partners will help establish the foundation of Helping Leaders Last. They will make it possible to welcome pastors into their first cohorts and provide the encouragement, community, and support they need to remain healthy for the long haul. A word about monthly giving: a cohort lasts most of a year. That means I have to tell a pastor in January that there is a seat for him in a room we will still be paying for in October. Monthly partners are what allow me to say &quot;yes&quot; with confidence. One-time gifts are equally valuable and often provide the resources needed to launch a new cohort in the first place. Give in whichever way best fits your life. When a pastor becomes healthier, churches become healthier. When churches become healthier, communities are impacted for generations. Thank you for standing with the shepherds who stand with everyone else.
