Most LCMS circuits struggle with collaboration—but not Pastor Joshua Reber’s. In this success story, Josh shares how his circuit has built healthy rhythms, a thriving newsletter, men’s retreats, and real theological dialogue that bring pastors and congregations closer together. In this episode, Tim and Jack sit down with Josh to explore: - What makes circuit collaboration thrive. - Why pastoral wellness matters for the whole church. - The surprising power of Sabbath rest and holistic health. - How preaching and sermon evaluation can sharpen pastors. - Why faithfulness, not results, is the ultimate goal. This conversation is both honest about the challenges and hopeful about what’s possible when circuits work together in the LCMS.
