Hold Fast & Stay True: Navigating the Dangers of Longevity in Ministry - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Ministry will test everything you believe—about God, about people, and about yourself.

Too many pastors and ministry leaders don’t leave because they lose their calling. They leave because they never built guardrails to survive betrayal, temptation, exhaustion, family strain, and disappointment.

In Hold Fast and Stay True, veteran pastor John Harvey draws from the life of Joseph—and more than three decades of ministry experience—to offer hard-earned wisdom for those who want to last, not just survive.

This book addresses the realities no one prepares you for:

• When ministry costs more than you expected
• How pride quietly erodes calling
• Why betrayal and exile are often unavoidable
• How temptation finds leaders at their weakest
• What faithfulness looks like when you feel forgotten
• Why forgiveness is essential if you want to finish well

Each chapter ends with:
Hold Fast — Scripture to anchor your soul
Stay True — Honest reflection questions that surface what really matters

This is not a leadership formula or a quick fix. It is a roadmap for endurance—written for pastors, church staff, missionaries, and ministry leaders who still love Jesus but need strength to keep going.
