Growth Tools You Receive Every Week

Carefully curated and created tools to help you and your ministry team go deeper on the topics covered in every episode

Ministry Leaders Growth Guide

Our team pulls key insights and quotes from every conversation with our amazing guests. We also create engaging questions for you and your team to consider and process, providing space for you to reflect on how that episode’s topic relates to your unique church context. Use these questions in your regular staff meetings to guide your conversation as you invest in the growth of your ministry leaders.

Full-Text Transcript

Want to review something that was mentioned? Interested in copying a quote and sharing it with a colleague? Desire to dig a bit more deeply into this week’s topic? Our team provides a full-text transcript of every conversation so you can pass along snippets, post on social media, create presentations to share, or use in whatever way you find most helpful in developing your ministry leaders.

Shareable Video Links

Join the discussion on YouTube with the video links provided for every episode. Have a question about something that was mentioned? Leave a comment and we will do our best to provide an answer. Be sure to share the video with your ministry team before your regular staff meetings so they can watch and be prepared for your discussion. Invite your team to subscribe to the YouTube channel so they receive each week’s episode.

Shareable Audio Links

Listen to each week’s conversation on-the-go from your favorite podcast platform. Share the podcast episode with your ministry team each week, as well, in case they prefer to listen rather than watch. You can encourage them to subscribe to the podcast so they receive it automatically each week. Again, be sure they receive it prior to your regular staff meeting so they are ready to discuss the topic.

Additional Resource Links

Throughout each conversation with our special guests, a variety of resources and tools are discussed. Each week we collect these links together so you and your team can easily find what is mentioned or referenced. We are also often able to provide links for you to connect directly with our guests and their ministries. At times, guests have a special resource available only to our audience, and we always pass that link along when available.

Shareable Social Graphics

Every week our team creates social graphics that you can share on your favorite social platforms. These graphics come directly from the conversations with our guests and are designed to encourage, equip, and inspire. Feel free to post them on your church social accounts, your personal accounts, or use them as graphics in your communications.

Our Testimonials

As a pastor in full time ministry for 20 years, I have found Pastor Serve to be a huge blessing.

Coaching has helped me navigate through some significant challenges in church leadership, but also in my family and relationship with Jesus. I first connected with them while I was preparing to take a sabbatical, and have continued my relationship with them because it has been so helpful. I have served my congregation and staff better because of the investment of Jay Fowler and Pastor Serve!

Brian Blum

Pastor

PastorServe has been very valuable to me in the last year of my ministry.

Through one of their coaches I was able to find the confidence and courage I needed to continue in ministry. Not only has the ministry of PastorServe been a blessing to me and the church they have also been a blessing for my wife and our marriage. I appreciate how they care about a lost and broken world and their desire to help pastors and churches reach their full potential.

Devin Wendt

Minister

PastorServe truly lives up to its name.

They serve pastors so that they can better serve the Lord. They are honest and insightful. Listening and implementing the advice given by these consummate professionals benefits the person and the Kingdom. I could not have more love and respect for my coach (Wade Brown) than I do. I highly recommend this organization and pray that other pastors find this resource so that they can finish strong.
