"The Cave: When Ministry Becomes Misery" with Pastor Scott Distler

Scott Distler, pastor of Gaylord E-Free Church joins me to talk about his book The Cave: When Ministry Becomes Misery.

Pastor Scott shares his testimony of how his apparent ministry success quickly turned into misery through betrayal.

After the prophet Elijah scored a miraculous victory against the prophets of Baal, he soon found himself hiding in a cave asking God to end his life.

This "cave" experience is what Pastor Scott wants to help us recognize and endure with humility and faith.
