In this episode of The Sunday’s Coming Podcast, Caleb and Kaleb are joined by Jeff Vandergiessen, a leader whose journey spans from the chaos of Mars Hill to creating Stillwater Reserve, a sanctuary for ministry leaders. Jeff shares his story of planting 24 churches, the burnout that left him sitting in a pile of rubble, and the call to help others find rest and renewal.
Jeff discusses the pivotal role of community-your tribe-in sustaining leadership. He dives into why leaders often feel isolated, the cultural pressures driving burnout, and how creating space for rest can lead to deeper connection with God and others. From smash burgers and ATVs at Stillwater Reserve to lessons learned during his Mars Hill days, this conversation is packed with wisdom and practical advice for anyone in leadership.
Whether you're a seasoned ministry leader or just navigating the challenges of leading well, this episode will inspire you to find your tribe, prioritize rest, and embrace the rhythms that keep you thriving.
Because Sunday’s always coming, and we’re all in this together.
