Episode 11: Leaving Well — When God Calls You to Move On

This is a space for those walking beside a calling—where identity is formed beside it, not lost within it.

In this heartfelt conversation, Debbie and Jill talk honestly about one of the hardest parts of ministry life—knowing when it’s time to leave and step into a new season.

They share personal stories about difficult transitions, unexpected interruptions, moving away from ministries they deeply loved, and the emotional weight ministry spouses often carry through change.

From helping children navigate transitions to grieving what was while embracing what’s next, this episode offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and reassurance for anyone walking through uncertainty or change in ministry life.

They also discuss the importance of leaving well, protecting your heart during transition, and trusting God even when the future feels unclear.

If you are navigating a ministry transition—or sensing a shift coming—this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone, and that God is faithful in every season.
