Holy Shift with Collin Mayjack
Nobody goes to seminary to become an ex-pastor. It wasn't a part of the plan, and there's no roadmap.
We’re rebuilding our lives and careers from scratch. No one should have to take that journey alone… and that's why we're building Holy Shift.
Holy Shift is a podcast for ex-pastors and ministry leaders navigating life and work after ministry.
Tune in every other week for honest stories, experiences, and advice from ex-pastors who've made the career jump.
Hosted by Collin Mayjack
