In today’s episode of The Healthy Christian Leader Show, host Dwight Habermehl sits down with Leanne Friesen, Executive Minister of the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec. Leanne shares her journey from Newfoundland to ministry leadership, the impact of losing her sister to cancer, and how grief has shaped both her life and her new book Grieving Room. Together, they explore what it means for pastors to stay spiritually healthy while grieving, how to set limits in ministry, and how God meets us in silence and sorrow. This conversation is full of honesty, wisdom, and encouragement for leaders navigating loss.
