Pastors often burn out due to conflict in the church, financial strain, family issues, lack of sabbatical, isolation and feeling overwhelmed by the pain in their community.

Many pastors suffer from a high degree of insecurity.

Becoming more rooted in the love of God helps pastors deepen their relationship with Him, take better care of themselves, be more present to their family and lead others with greater love, empathy and healing impact.

When I was 35, I found myself with what looked like the perfect life — married to the woman of my dreams, father to three beautiful daughters, pastoring a historic church that was coming back to life...and I still just wanted to die.

I was trying to fill the screaming emptiness in my spirit through over-achievement, approval, and academic success, and then, through a terrifying moment where I nearly committed suicide, I came to terms with this inner emptiness and my absolute inability to fill it.

From this place of deep brokenness, the Holy Spirit started me on a healing journey of being rooted in God's love, day-by-day. God's love saved my life.

I'm passionate about helping others avoid this dead-end path of striving and burnout. I started Rooted Ministries because of this — to see pastors, Christian leaders and churches rooted in the love of God and equipped through authentic mentoring and connection.
