Episode notes
Bring A Third Party Into Tense Transitions
- If you face major ministry transitions, bring a trusted third party into the conversation to mediate and clarify decisions.
- Avoid making unilateral shifts without an external voice that can translate doctrinal changes to the congregation.
Ministry Pressure Triggered Panic
- As tensions mounted, Kyllum experienced panic attacks that worsened until he was stuck at home for months.
- His anxiety began with blurry spells, hot sweats, and escalated to being unable to leave the house or function normally.
Get Professional Help Early
- Seek professional help early when anxiety appears and include spiritual care alongside clinical support.
- Counselling plus reading Scripture (like the Psalms) helped Kyllum move from shame to understanding and hope.
