In the wake of COVID-19, we witnessed a significant rise in pastors stepping away from their roles, with many retiring early or leaving ministry altogether. In this episode of the Uncovered Dish Podcast, we explore this phenomenon with Andrew Ryoo, a former pastor who navigated profound challenges within the church community and eventually left the ministry. We discuss the intricate process of renegotiating faith after experiencing spiritual distress, as opposed to simply deconstructing it. Andrew shares his personal journey and the healing he found within the nurturing environment of 'My Sanctuary Healing'. Dive in as we discuss the complexities of faith, healing, and rediscovery in today's challenging times.
