Show Notes
In this episode of the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast, Eric sits down with Kevin Butcher, longtime pastor, author of Free: Rescued from Shame-Based Religion, and founder of Rooted Pastors.
Kevin shares his story of pastoring for more than three decades while quietly carrying the weight of shame, performance, and exhaustion—and the moment that forced him to confront the emptiness behind ministry success. From there, he walks through how God began reshaping his understanding of love, identity, and what it really means to live free in Christ.
Along the way, Eric and Kevin talk about the difference between guilt and shame, why so many pastors feel pressure to perform, and why healing often begins when leaders are finally seen, known, and supported in safe community. If you're a pastor or ministry leader who has ever felt the pressure to have it all together, this conversation offers honest encouragement and a reminder that you don't have to walk through ministry alone.
