When Ministry Becomes a Mistress: How Pastors Escape Approval Addiction and Rediscover Peace (w/ Ramfis Moulier) (w/ Ramfis Moulier) - Episode 335

In Podcast 335, Dale Sellers interviews pastor and author Ramfis Moulier about how approval addiction and ministry overwork can damage marriages, families, and intimacy with God—and what it takes to heal and lead from presence, not performance.They also discuss the hidden cost of “doing ministry” for approval. Ramfis shares how a legalistic church culture, unrealistic expectations, and the intoxicating pull of platform affirmation can slowly turn ministry into a substitute for intimacy with God—and even into a rival to a spouse.Through candid stories from Ramfis’s life (and themes from his book Ashes), this conversation explores why many pastors feel trapped in overwork, why honesty is often punished in church culture, and how healing begins when leaders choose peace and presence over performance and applause.Show Notes: https://95network.org/95podcast-335-summary-when-ministry-becomes-a-mistress-how-pastors-escape-approval-addiction-and-rediscover-peace-w-ramfis-moulier/Support the show
