Church conflict affects more than congregations. It often leaves deep emotional, spiritual, relational, and leadership scars on the pastors called to shepherd God's people. In this episode of Church Leadership in Focus, Don Hicks explores the often-overlooked personal toll that church conflict takes on pastors and their families.

Drawing from biblical examples, ministry experience, and a relatable real-life ministry illustration, Don discusses the emotional exhaustion, spiritual struggles, family pressures, and leadership challenges pastors frequently face during seasons of tension and division. He also provides practical, biblically grounded guidance for healing, recovery, and long-term resilience in ministry.

Whether you are currently navigating conflict, recovering from a difficult season, or seeking to better understand the challenges pastors face behind the scenes, this episode offers encouragement, wisdom, and hope for faithful ministry leadership.
