Pouring from a Full Cup: Soul Care for Ministry Leaders with Matt Korte

Ministry is demanding, and the weight of leading others can often leave pastors and leaders feeling depleted. This is especially true for those serving in pro-life ministry, where the spiritual battle is intense and the urgency of the mission can be all-consuming. In this episode of the We Love Life podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger sit down with Matt Korte, Soul Care Director at CrossPoint Ministry, to discuss the importance of soul care for those on the front lines of ministry.
Matt shares his personal journey from burnout to renewal and offers practical wisdom on how leaders in ministry, particularly those in the pro-life movement, can protect themselves from exhaustion. He explains why embracing God-given limitations is necessary and how leading from a place of spiritual overflow produces lasting impact.
Key topics include:✅ The unique challenges of pro-life ministry and why burnout is so common✅ How to recognize exhaustion before it’s too late and take steps toward renewal✅ The danger of replacing intimacy with God with the busyness of ministry✅ Why soul care is essential for sustaining a lifelong calling✅ How unresolved past wounds impact effectiveness in ministry✅ Practical steps to cultivate a healthy soul and minister from a place of wholeness
The pro-life movement fights for the most vulnerable, but those serving in it must be strengthened as well. We cannot pour from an empty cup and expect to have a lasting impact. Whether you are a pastor, a ministry leader, or someone involved in pro-life advocacy, this episode will equip you with tools to stay healthy and effective in your calling.
