Episode 89

Getting Ghosted in Gospel Ministry

Cary Schmidt and Kurt Skelly dive into the difficult experience of “getting ghosted” in gospel ministry, where friendships or ministry relationships abruptly end without closure or explanation. They explore both internal ghosting (within the church) and external ghosting (among ministry colleagues), highlighting the confusion, pain, and disillusionment that often follow. This episode encourages pastors and leaders to process the experience biblically, avoid bitterness, and lean into grace. Join us for part 2 where they will discuss how the gospel provides a framework for responding to ghosting in a Christlike manner.
