Ministry Chick Network with Melissa Scarbrough Mashburn

You've been in ministry long enough to know that the calling doesn't get easier — it just gets deeper. And somewhere between the hard seasons, the budget meetings, and carrying other people's weight while managing your own, you've wondered if you have what it takes to stay in it for the long run. Lori Stansbury has been asking that question for 40 years — and she's still standing.

In this conversation, Melissa sits down with Lori — a ministry leader, coach, and people developer whose life has included unexpected illness, caregiving, and decades of navigating leadership in spaces that weren't always built for her. Lori brings the kind of wisdom that only comes from showing up for a very long time.

• What walking through illness — your own and someone else's — teaches you about caring for yourself that no leadership book ever will
