Stay the Course: A Pastor’s Guide to Navigating the Restless Waters of Ministry
Pastoral ministry is hard. These days—with pandemics and cultural crises and distrust of the church higher than ever—it may be especially hard.
There is a reason an increasing number of pastors are depressed, burned out, leaving the ministry, or—worst of all—imploding their lives through moral failures.
Mike Minter planted a church in 1975, and after a long and faithful career in pastoral ministry, he is burdened to see so many struggling pastors. This book is born from both his experience and his concern. His heart is to help younger pastors make it through the ministry intact, and Stay the Course will do just that.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike to market this title with B&H Publishing. It’s a refreshing encouragement for ministry leaders from someone who has weathered all kinds of storms.

inspiring memoir of a faithful life
Mike and his family had a huge impact on my life during college. Having been roommates with his youngest daughter, we traveled to their home many many weekends and Easter’s where we attended services at RBC. Reading the first few chapters of this book, I kept thinking how remarkable our God is, in how he loves to use “unschooled, ordinary men” to do the extraordinary. I had no idea the obstacles pastor Mike faced growing up - his story will absolutely inspire many. No matter what weaknesses we have, God is bigger and uses whom he pleases to spread the gospel for His glory! Be encouraged and inspired by this story of humble beginnings, overcoming obstacles, and a life of faithfulness and obedience to Christ.
