Pastor Craig Groeschel On Protecting His Marriage, Social Media Boundaries & Avoiding Burnout

تفصیل

I sat down with Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church, for an amazing conversation about: - How to actually make your marriage last 35 years - Why you should prioritize your marriage over your kids - The behind-the-scenes safeguards he’s put in place to protect his integrity and marriage - How he overcame shame, anxiety, and burnout as a pastor - Social media boundaries - And why struggling with mental health is NOT a sin I loved how honest he was about going through anxiety in 2019 — even while leading 45 campuses. It reminded me that no one is immune, and asking for help is wisdom, not weakness. This episode felt like a masterclass in safeguards, sanctification, and self-awareness. And I’m honestly so grateful for leaders like Craig who are willing to be vulnerable.
