Work Background
Brandon Pardekooper ConsultingFounder and CEO
Sep. 2018Virginia Beach, Virginia, United StatesAs a pastor, I know what it is like to serve 24/7 and give until there is nothing left in the tank. I have lived the reality where my wife and kids take a backseat to the demands of the ministry, and I understand the tension with serving the church and needing margin for the things that matter most. This is why I am passionate about escorting pastors into their Dream Life in Ministry. God has designed a Dream Life for every pastor and ministry leader, and too few are not living it. With 5 simple steps, Pastor, you can begin your journey toward the Dream Life in Ministry God has designed for you specifically. Visit my website to get started for FREE today. When God called you to ministry, He had a Dream Life designed for you to live. Its time to start living it.
