I help weary pastors find hope.

A free resource for pastors who are tired, burned out, or just trying to hold it all together.

Ministry is beautiful. But let’s be honest—it’s also brutal.

You’re expected to be strong, available, wise, gentle, discerning, theologically sound, emotionally stable, financially responsible, and somehow always okay.

But what happens when you’re not okay?

That’s where this space comes in.

I’m Zakk Gammon, a longtime pastor and licensed Christian counselor. I created The Hopeful Pastor to give church leaders like you a place to be poured into because pastors shouldn’t have to suffer in silence.

Here’s what you’ll get when you subscribe for free:

• 🎙️ The Hopeful Pastor Podcast – Real conversations about the struggles pastors face, with biblical wisdom and practical tools to help you lead from a healthier place.

• ⏱️ RECENTER Moments – Short-form encouragement to help you reset your perspective and rediscover the joy of your calling, even on the hard days.

• 💡 Resources, insights, and support – All from someone who knows what ministry is really like.

Why this matters:

The numbers tell the story:

• 75% of pastors experience high levels of stress.

• 70% deal with anxiety or depression.

• 38% have considered leaving ministry in the last year.

• And nearly 1 in 5 have seriously contemplated self-harm or suicide.

That’s not okay.

But here’s the good news:

You don’t have to stay in that place. You’re not alone. And you don’t have to walk this road by yourself anymore.

If you’re looking for hope, clarity, or even just a place where you don’t have to pretend, subscribe now. It costs nothing, but it might mean everything.
